In the luxurious hall of a Saint Moritz hotel, in the middle of winter, two women exchange glances as the shadows of dusk fall over the snowy fields and jazz plays in the bar. From this encounter arises a painful and fascinating passion, a longing that seems unattainable. Annemarie Schwarzenbach sensitively recounts the desire that the stranger provokes in her in these pages written when she was twenty-one years old. 'Seeing a Woman', discovered in the Swiss Literary Archives, presents the author's only text located in her native country, a landscape where she feels lighter and loves as a beautiful woman. Annemarie Schwarzenbach (Zurich 1908-Sils, Engadine, 1942) came from a family of Swiss entrepreneurs. Her life was marked by morphine addiction, suicide attempts and the pursuit of freedom, tragically ending at the age of thirty-four after a bicycle accident.
