Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi esquissa en 1922 le premier plan d’une union politique et économique européenne. Avec la fondation et la direction de l’Union paneuropéenne, il a grandement contribué à l’unification européenne pendant un demi-siècle ; il fut le précurseur et le moteur de l’Europe unie, dont il exhorta et inspira les hommes politiques. Dans son autobiographie, Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi parle de sa « vie singulière dans un chapitre inimaginable de l’histoire mondiale ». En effet, ses mémoires sont aussi captivants qu’un roman et intéressants qu’une page d’histoire contemporaine.
Après la parution en 2006 of the book "Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi: Ausgewählte Schriften zu Europa" (selected pieces on Europe) which were reprinted in the most important writings of the "prophet of Europe" on European politics, the public interest has again, with the volume "Life and Work", his autobiography has long been exhausted, with the scientific comments and additional specialist Coudenhove-Kalergi Stephan Baier. Articles of famous writers shed light on various aspects of life and work of Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi and her sister Ida Gorres, author and theologian (this work was written by Prof.. Dr. Hanna-Barbara Gerl-Falkovitz) and deal with little-known aspects of history pan.
Thus the current president of the Pan European Union, Alain Terrenoire writes about Coudenhove and France, the historian Martin Posselt handles the most important policy initiatives Coudenhove, and author Masumi Schmidt-Muraki Japanese sets light on the Japanese roots of the founder of Pan-Europe. An article in the Austrian Pan-Europe Secretary General, Rainhard Kloucek, evokes the fate of the archives of the Pan European Union in the interwar transported to Moscow. In
his article "Pan-Europe, a challenge between continuity and change," the vice-president of the Pan-European Union member and the Swedish Diet, Walburga Douglas discusses the principles of Pan-Europe, which have lost none of their relevance. It is to Dr. Otto von Habsburg, who presided over the Pan European Union for more than thirty years after Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, which must be a posthumous tribute to the remarkable founder of the Pan European Union, but also numerous comments and annotations that enrich the autobiography.
The speeches on the occasion of receiving the first "Karlspreis "The city of Aachen Coudenhove-Kalergi are also documented in this volume.

The presenters are the acting Vice-President of the Europa-Society, Prince Nikolaus von Liechtenstein, Josef Taus as a political contemporary witness, Peter Fischer, professor of European law and Stephan Baier as representative for the co-contributors.
In 1922 Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi devised the first plan for the political and economic unification of Europe. Through his founding and leadership of the Paneuropa-Union, his essential contributions over 50 years served as the mastermind and impetus of the European Union while inspiring and encouraging statesmen in their efforts. In his autobiography, Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi wrote of an "unusual love of one's fellow man connecting with an incredible chapter of world history." His memoirs can be read with the sense of excitement of a novel as well as a fascinating piece of contemporary history.
Following the 2006 publication of the volume "Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi: Selected Writings to Europe," which reprinted the most important European political letters of "Europe's Prophet", this long out-of-print autobiography - containing academic and supplementary commentary by Stephan Baier - will once again be available to a public interested in the concept and issue of a European Union. Essays and papers by the renowned author concern different aspects of the Life and Influence of Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi and of his sister, the writer and religious thinker, Ida Gorres (this contribution was written by Professor Dr Hanna-Barbara Gerl-Falkovitz) and deal with hitherto scarcely-known aspects of the history of Paneuropa.
The present President of the Paneuropa-Union, Alain Terrenoire, writes about Coudenhove and France; the German historian, Martin Posselt, concentrates on Coudenhove's most important political initiatives; the Japanese author, Masumi Schmidt-Muraki enlightens us on the Japanese roots of the Paneuropa foundation; while an essay by the Austrian General Secretary of Paneuropa, Rainhard Kloucek, addresses the fate of the Paeneuropa archives sent to Moscow in the period between the World Wars.
The Vice-President of the Paneuropa-Union, and the Swedish Parliamentary Representative, Walburga Douglas, in their contribution - "Paneuropa as Challenge between Continuity and Change" - enlarge upon its foundational principles and, as always, their topical relevance and application. Not only does a noteworthy obituary of the Paeneuropa founder come from Dr Otto von Habsburg, who, following Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, stood for more than 30 years at the head of the Paneuropa Union, but Dr Habsburg is also the source of many annotations which prevail in the commentary on the autobiography.
Also printed in this Volume is the speech at the awarding of the first Karl's Prize by the City of Aachen to Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi.
