Summary "My Life — Volume 2" by Richard Wagner is a memoir written in the early 20th century. This work provides an intimate look into Wagner's life, particularly focusing on his experiences and relationships during the 1850s. In this volume, the author likely explores themes of personal struggle, artistic ambition, and the tensions within his domestic life. The beginning of "My Life — Volume 2" reveals Wagner's return to Zurich, where he and his wife Minna settle into a modest but comfortable accommodation. The narrative highlights the challenges in their marriage, exacerbated by domestic disputes involving Minna's attitude towards Nathalie, whom Wagner describes as his stepdaughter. As the memoir unfolds, Wagner reflects on his relationships, including a young friend named Karl Ritter, who aspires to a musical career, suggesting a focus on mentorship and artistic development amidst personal turmoil. Through these early chapters, readers gain insight into Wagner's artistic drive, domestic challenges, and the supportive relationships that influence his music.
