Micro-recensioni (solo in italiano) per questo e per altri libri in questo post sul mio blog.

Ho letto, infine, Van Gogh: The Life, monumentale biografia di un pittore che tutti pensano di conoscere, ma che, credo, pochi conoscono davvero. Ci ho messo quasi un anno e mezzo per finirlo, ma non perché sia un libro noioso o poco interessante: è semplicemente tanto, a volte troppo. La vita di Vincent, vista attraverso il prisma della sua relazione con il fratello Theo (senza alcun dubbio la più importante e la più conflittuale), è complessa, spesso triste, quasi sempre solitaria; e la sua opera, forse più che per qualunque altro artista, ne è uno specchio, forse distorto, ma sempre fedele. Un libro stupendo.

An extremely comprehensive work on the life of Van Gogh. One of the most lengthy (in a good way) books I've ever read and it's worth it.

I have a little obsession with Van Gogh, so this book was just what I needed to feed that obsession. It is the most thorough account of his life that I've ever read and really allows you to understand how sad this man's life was.
