Irving Stone is one of the most florid and intelligent authors that I have ever read. He harbors an unmatched functional and romanitc vocabulary, romantic as in sensuous. This books is an example of how an author ought to compose a biography. Lust For Life is the biography of Vincent Vangogh - despite your feelings about his paintings, this book marks in my memory and contemporaneous life the strength and confidence that every artist must own. It is written in books, which relate to sections of his life. The book is filled will allusions and emotional acrobatic enhanced by Stone's artistic touch but based on Vangoghs actuall recounts.
