Summary
Irving Stone: Lust for Life
Romanized biography of the Dutch-French painter Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890). Not only the oeuvre, but also the life of this artist, imbued with suffering and misunderstanding of the environment, his fate as an outcast, occasional and increasingly serious crises culminating in suicide, have intrigued writers, art historians, thinkers, essayists, psychiatrists, and the public in general for almost a whole century, turning into a true myth to this day. The author of this novel, a storyteller who particularly dedicated himself to the biographies of famous people, based his work on available documents, and interwoven the information found in them with descriptions and dialogues that were sometimes reconstructed and sometimes invented.
