Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Two geniuses. One tiny yellow house. Nine weeks before everything ended in blood.In October 1888, Vincent van Gogh finally convinced Paul Gauguin to join him in Arles, France, where Vincent dreamed of founding a revolutionary community of artists. Instead, the Yellow House became the setting for one of art history's most infamous roommate disasters.Behind the sunflowers and celebrated masterpieces were unpaid bills, bruised egos, absinthe-soaked evenings, vicious arguments over art, and a friendship buckling under expectations neither man could meet. As Gauguin planned his escape, Vincent's carefully constructed dream began to collapse.Then came December 23 and the razor.Drawing on Van Gogh's correspondence, contemporary records, later testimony, and modern scholarship, The Yellow House Disaster separates documented fact from irresistible legend to reconstruct those extraordinary nine weeks with wit, suspense, and historical care.Perfect for readers who love famous lives, dark history, artistic rivalries, and true stories stranger than fiction.…
