Book Summary

Vincent Van Gogh was a tragic figure in his time, besieged by uncertainty, disappointment and a tortured mind.  The heroic devotion of his brother Theo was the most important sustaining influence on his life.  The author uses the techniques of a fiction writer and the approach of a biographer in re-creating the storm and stress that both destroyed a great artist's soul and drove him to exercise his extraordinary talents, which the world recognized all too late.
