Overview
Por la autora de Los amantes de Praga y Las horas de terciopelo.
Verano de 1890. Van Gogh llega a Auvers-sur-Oise, un bucólico pueblo francés que atrae a los pintores de París y otras ciudades por sus maravillosos colores y paisajes. Ahí ha crecido Marguerite Gachet, una chica de veinte años que, desde la muerte de su madre, se ha dedicado a atender a su padre y a su hermano. Es con ellos donde el pintor pasará su último verano, bajo el cuidado del doctor Gachet, médico homeópata, pintor aficionado y coleccionista. En estos últimos días de su vida, Van Gogh creará más de setenta cuadros, dos de ellos retratos de Marguerite. Lo que él no sabe es que mientras la pinta los lienzos, también capturará su corazón.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Summer, 1890. Van Gogh arrives at Auvers-sur-Oise, a bucolic French village that lures city artists to the country. It is here that twenty-year-old Maurguerite Gachet has grown up, attending to her father and brother ever since her mother’s death. And it is here that young Vincent Van Gogh will spend his last summer, under the care of Doctor Gachet—homeopathic doctor, dilettante painter, and collector. In these last days of his life, Van Gogh will create over 70 paintings, two of them portraits of Marguerite Gachet. But little does he know that, while capturing Marguerite and her garden on canvas, he will also capture her heart.
Both a love story and historical novel, The Last Van Gogh recreates the final months of Vincent’s life—and the tragic relationship between a young girl brimming with hope and an artist teetering on despair.
