After briefly analysing the lyrical production of Leopold von Andrian (1875-1951), highlighting its affinities with that of his best-known friend from his youth, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, the monograph focuses on the analysis of the Austrian writer's only short story, The Garden of Knowledge (1895). After a promising start as a writer of verse and storyteller, Andrian - nephew of the musician Giacomo Meyerbeer - devoted himself to a diplomatic career, composing works of a historical-philosophical nature in his maturity, which, however, remained a dead letter.

Taking up - but with the addition of a question mark - the title of the collection of aphorisms by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, The Book of Friends, the volume illustrates a series

of relations that the Viennese poet had with some of his more or less famous contemporaries. less famous contemporaries. These relationships were all marked by moments of tension and which therefore legitimise the doubt, expressed in the title, that these were real friendships.
