The Man in the Red Coat / Julian Barnes
Tipo de material: TextoIdioma: Inglés Detalles de publicación: [s.l] : Vintage, 2020 Descripción: 265 p. ; 21 cmISBN: 9781529112313Tema(s): Pozzi, Samuel 1846-1918Resumen: The Booker Prize-winning author of 'The Sense of an Ending' takes us on a rich, witty tour of Belle Epoque Paris, via the life story of the pioneering surgeon Samuel Pozzi. In the summer of 1885, three Frenchmen arrived in London for a few days' shopping. One was a Prince, one was a Count, and the third was a commoner, who four years earlier had been the subject of one of John Singer Sargent's greatest portraits. The commoner was Samuel Pozzi, society doctor, pioneer gynaecologist and free-thinker - a scientific man with a famously complicated private life. Pozzi's life played out against the backdrop of the Parisian Belle Epoque. The beautiful age of glamour and pleasure more often showed its ugly side: hysterical, narcissistic, decadent and violent, with more parallels to our own age than we might imagineTipo de ítem | Biblioteca de origen | Signatura | Estado | Fecha de vencimiento | Código de barras | Reserva de ítems |
