Acerca de esta escucha
Lust for Life is Irving Stone's biographical novel about the life of the Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh.

Historia
Each night, when the hours of painting and drawing were over, Vincent van Gogh put pen to paper and poured out his heart through letters to his beloved brother Theo, his confidant and companion. No thought was too small, no element of his craft too insignificant, no happening too trivial. It was all scrupulously recorded and shared. In these letters, Van Gogh reveals himself as artist and man. Even more than if he had purposely intended to tell his life story, Van Gogh’s letters lay bare his deepest feelings, as well as his everyday concerns and his views of the world of art.

Historia
Acclaimed author of biographical and historical fiction Irving Stone turns his magnificent talent to telling America's most colorful and exciting story - the opening of the Far West. Men to Match My Mountains is a true historical masterpiece, an unforgettable pageant of giants - men like John Sutter, whose dream of paradise was shattered by the California Gold Rush; Brigham Young and the Mormons, who tamed the desert with Bible texts; and the silver kings and the miners, who developed Nevada's Comstock Lode and settled the Rockies.

Historia
Mexican artist Frida Kahlo adored adventure. In November, 1930, she was thrilled to realize her dream of traveling to the United States to live in San Francisco, Detroit, and New York. Still, leaving her family and her country for the first time was monumental. Only 23 and newly married to the already world-famous 43-year-old Diego Rivera, she was at a crossroads in her life and this new place, one filled with magnificent beauty, horrific poverty, racial tension, anti-Semitism, ethnic diversity, bland Midwestern food, and a thriving music scene, pushed Frida in unexpected directions.

Leonardo da Vinci created the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and engineering. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry.

Working with the full cooperation of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith have accessed a wealth of previously untapped materials. While drawing liberally from the artist's famously eloquent letters, they have also delved into hundreds of unpublished family correspondences, illuminating with poignancy the wanderings of Van Gogh's troubled, restless soul. Naifeh and Smith bring a crucial understanding to the larger-than-life mythology of this great artist.

Hailed by readers/listeners and critics across the country, this engrossing biography of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo reveals a woman of extreme magnetism and originality, an artist whose sensual vibrancy came straight from her own experiences: her childhood near Mexico City during the Mexican Revolution; a devastating accident at age eighteen that left her crippled and unable to bear children; her tempestuous marriage to muralist Diego Rivera and intermittent love affairs with men as diverse as Isamu Noguchi and Leon Trotsky; her association with the Communist Party.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

Historia
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Acclaimed author of biographical and historical fiction Irving Stone turns his magnificent talent to telling America's most colorful and exciting story - the opening of the Far West. Men to Match My Mountains is a true historical masterpiece, an unforgettable pageant of giants - men like John Sutter, whose dream of paradise was shattered by the California Gold Rush; Brigham Young and the Mormons, who tamed the desert with Bible texts; and the silver kings and the miners, who developed Nevada's Comstock Lode and settled the Rockies.

Historia
Each night, when the hours of painting and drawing were over, Vincent van Gogh put pen to paper and poured out his heart through letters to his beloved brother Theo, his confidant and companion. No thought was too small, no element of his craft too insignificant, no happening too trivial. It was all scrupulously recorded and shared. In these letters, Van Gogh reveals himself as artist and man. Even more than if he had purposely intended to tell his life story, Van Gogh’s letters lay bare his deepest feelings, as well as his everyday concerns and his views of the world of art.

Empathetic and very well researched
A remarkable work by a remarkable author, this is definitely one of his most well known protagonists to date yet and a very controversional one. He managed to write the character in a very understanding and deep voice. This is definitely now one of my favorite books ever! Loved listening to this whole browsing Vincent's gallery and discovering bits of the paintings I hadn't before.

Great story telling of Van Gogh
I wanted to know more about Vincent Van Gogh after visiting the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in June 2024. Instead of a book stating dry facts, I searched for an author that could blend his life with a bit of storytelling. I knew this approach would keep my attention. This was exactly what I found and I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Irving Stone’s Lust for Life took letters to Theo, Vincent’s brother, and incorporated as much of the true struggles Vincent faced throughout his life into his book. I can now look at Vincent’s paintings and truly understand how and why those paintings were created.

Wow Van Gogh
Not like we learn in history. We only hear the pretty parts. He led a life of inspiration, trying to put it to the best use for life. Not all may like his art, but this book made me love it all. To understand why he painted the way he did.
Only thing for me- English accent of the narrator. And only because I am American. But I got used to it after awhile.

Standing ovation
What made the experience of listening to Lust for Life the most enjoyable?
The reading was perhaps the best I've ever heard
Who was your favorite character and why?
Vincent of course
Have you listened to any of Steve West’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Not sure. But they definitely don't get much better
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
They did make a film. A lousy one.
Any additional comments?
it just doesn't get any better than this. Irving Stone is a genius equal to the task as is Steve West. Bravo !!!

Still Relevant and Important
This book is around 90 years old and still holds up. it's a celebration and a study and perhaps a warning all wrapped up in one.

Vincent Van Gogh's interesting life
The length of this book initially scared me, (19+ hours is the longest story I've listened to so far), but the story was captivating and Steve West's narration was beautiful. Irving Stone's descriptions of Vincent's (and his friend's) work is beautiful. If you are interested in Van Gogh and his life, I highly recommend this book!

I’m Deeply Moved
Loved listening about Vincent and his deep struggles through life and his passion. I’m more deeply moved by Vincent relationship with his brother Theo. So much pure authentic love and care between those two brothers.
