(21.) Alma and Gustav Mahler, Gustav Mahler: Erinnerungen und Briefe (Amsterdam: Allert de Lange, 1940; reprint, Amsterdam: Bermann-Fischer, 1949); English trans.
Lea wrote a thoughtful book on Mahler, Gustav Mahler-Man on the Margin, in which he called him "the Eternal Jew." Lea believes that Mahler's deep ambivalence on being Jewish was symptomatic of the assimilated Jew of the era who wanted to get ahead but found Judaism standing in the way.
