Undine The myth of the undine was one of the inspirations behind the French play "Pelléas et Mélisande" written by Maurice Maeterlinck, which was performed only once, on 17 May 1893. The composer Claude Debussy was in the audience, and he used the play's text as the libretto for his opera of the same name. The 1939 play "Ondine" by French dramatist Jean Giradoux is also based upon Fouqué's novella, as is a ballet by composer Hans Werner Henze and choreographer Frederick Ashton with Margot Fonteyn as Undine. Austrian author Ingeborg Bachmann, a friend of Henze's who collaborated with him frequently, attended the premiere of the ballet in London, and published her short story "Undine geht" in the collection "Das dreißigste Jahr" (1961), in which Undine "is neither a human nor a water spirit, but an idea".
S. N. Behrman "People in a Diary" (1972), a memoir, could also be regarded as a major Behrman work and a well-crafted example of its genre. Published eighteen years after his first memoir, "The Worcester Account," it is a collection of autobiographical essays and sketches culled from the sixty volumes of diaries Behrman had been keeping since his time at Harvard in 1915. "An odd quirk of destiny has put a great many people in my way," he wrote in a significant understatement, declaring that his purpose in the book was to "revive their society" and the vibrant times they had shared. The cast of characters in "People in a Diary" gives an idea of the breadth and depth of Behrman's life: e.g., Greta Garbo, Laurence Olivier, Louis B. Mayer, Jean Giradoux, Somerset Maugham, Eugene O'Neill, Noël Coward, Maxwell Anderson, Elmer Rice, Sidney Howard, Felix Frankfurter, Bernard Berenson, the Gershwins, and the Marx Brothers. The book also contains some biting observations about the direction modern America had taken in the 1960s as it waged war in Vietnam and became more obsessed with money and imperial ambitions.
