Bookstore: Vincent van Gogh (fiction)

	Lust for Life Irving Stone
	Format: Paperback Publication Date: June 1984 Available for delivery in 2 - 3 Days
	A classic for everyone to read and enjoy. Irving Stone's greatest novel traces the life of Vincent Van Gogh from his auspicious beginnings as an art dealer in London to his death at age 37 in Auvers in 1890. The book is a biographical novel: although it is rooted in fact, the author has fictionalized certain details, as well as dialog that can only be imagined. When reading Lust for Life, one can easily find Van Gogh's own words liberally sprinkled throughout the dialog, giving a depth of insight into his art and philosophy that no author could ever dream up in a work of pure fiction. Stone seamlessly weaves a literary portrait of Van Gogh that can honestly be called a masterpiece. GUY GILRAY
