The Season of Migration

Nellie Hermann

4.9/5 (20777 ratings)

Description:Though Vincent Van Gogh is one of the most popular painters of all time, we know very little about a tenth-month period in the painter’s youth when he and his brother, Theo, broke off all contact. In The Season of Migration, Nellie Hermann fills these gaps with a profoundly imaginative, original, and heartbreaking vision of Van Gogh’s early years, before he became the artist that we know today.In December 1878 Vincent Van Gogh comes to the coal mining village of Petit Wasmes in the Borinage region of Belgium, a place as blasted and hopeless as the most desolated regions of Appalachia. Not yet the artist he is destined to become, he arrives as an ersatz preacher, barely sanctioned by church authorities, but ordained in his own mind and heart by a desperate and mistaken spiritual vocation. But what Vincent experiences in the Borinage will change him. Coming to preach a useless gospel he thought he knew and believed, he learns a better one instead in the devastated land and people of Petit Wasmes, whose love and lives—and ultimately whose disasters—he tries to share.With sumptuously visual language, and shimmering prose shot through with deep feeling, The Season of Migration powerfully and convincingly transports us into the head of one of our most beloved artists.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
