Description

“A story of excruciating power.”—The New York Times
 
The classic, bestselling biographical novel of Vincent Van Gogh
 
Since its initial publication in 1934, Irving Stone’s Lust for Life has been a essential success, a multimillion-copy bestseller, and the root for an Academy Award-winning movie.
 
Essentially the most famous of all of Stone’s novels, it’s the story of Vincent Van Gogh—brilliant painter, passionate lover, and alleged madman. Here is his tempestuous story: his dramatic life, his fevered loves for both the best-born women and the lowest prostitutes, and his paintings—for which he used to be damned before being proclaimed a genius. The novel takes us from his desperate days in a coal mine in southern Belgium to his dazzling years within the south of France, where he knew Essentially the most brilliant artists (and Essentially the most depraved whores). In any case, it shows us Van Gogh driven mad, tragic, and triumphant immediately. No other novel of a really perfect man’s life has so fascinated the American public for generations.
