books by Irving Stone     books:       Lust for Life46 reviews Irving Stone Plume, 1984 Living for Lust I should have read this biography sooner. I used to be in love with his paintings, and even fantasized that IF I were to travel back in time, I would've married him -- all this BEFORE I read this book. After I read it I found out that there was one such infatuated woman (Margot), and also a tragic unrequited love story that led him to religion and then to painting. Anyone who is creative will ...             The Agony and the Ecstasy: A Biographical Novel of Michelangelo (Reader's Digest Great Biographies in Large ... Irving Stone Reader's Digest Association, 1993 Celebrating the 500th anniversary of Michelangelo's David, New American Library releases a special edition of Irving Stone's classic biographical novel-in which both the artist and the man are brought to life in full. A masterpiece in its own right, this novel offers a compelling portrait of Michelangelo's dangerous, impassioned loves, and the God-driven fury from which he wrested the greatest art the world has ever known.             Dear Theo: The Autobiography of Vincent Van Gogh11 reviews Plume, 1995 A fire starter These letters speak the truth of van Gogh. This book opens a window of knowledge on a man so misunderstood to the world. At 14, I absolutely am in love with this book. "Dear Theo" has ignited a fire in my soul, a burning desire to study art and the men behind the works.             The PASSIONS Of The MIND. A Biographical Novel of Sigmund Freud.1 review Irving Stone Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1971 Great book! Irving Stone writes the best biography's that read like a novel. A great way to learn history & be entertained at the same time.             The Origin: Biographical Novel of Charles Darwin6 reviews Irving Stone Corgi, 1982 STILL A GOOD READ AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I first read this one in the early 80s. I picked if off my shelf again, a few days ago, and enjoyed it all over again. Being a student of the life of Charles Darwin, I have read the majority of the major biographies over the past twenty years. While this work is a fictionalized version of Darwin's life, and is certainly overly simplistic at times, there, nevertheless, is no doubt the author ...             The Passions of the Mind Irving Stone Doubleday, 1971             They Also Ran6 reviews Irving Stone Signet, 1968 Amazing book--you must track down and read Someone gave this book to Bob Dole after '96; I hope Al Gore gets a chance to read it, too. What I took from the book is that on many occasions, America dodged a bullet by not being governed by a clearly unqualified loser. In other cases, we should consider ourselves unfortunate that the loser wasn't the winner. Originally written in the 1940's by the late Irving Stone, the book is woefully in ...             The President's Lady: A Novel about Rachel and Andrew Jackson10 reviews Irving Stone Thomas Nelson, 1996 LOVED this book Had already read "The Origin" and loved it so gave this a try. Fantastic. Also, was visiting Nashville when I started it (didn't even know this is where they were from at the time) and got to visit the Hermitage while reading it. Really brought things to life. A great read!             Men to Match My Mountains: The Opening of the Far West, 1840-190021 reviews Irving Stone Book Sales, 2001 Western History sequence Men To Match My Mountains is the perfect follow up to Chittenden's The American Fur Trade of The Far West. Since H. M. Chittenden covers 1800- 1840ish, this book gives you detailed history of California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado beginning with the Oregon Trail movement. It contains some very well studied hard to find details of historical events. It's sure to please the serious history buff.             Jack London, Sailor on Horseback Irving Stone Doubleday & Company, 1938 Biographical Novel - the standard work on the life of Jack London by the author of 'Lust for Life' & 'The President's Lady'.             Lust For Life: A Novel Based on the LIfe of Vincent Van Gogh2 reviews Irving Stone Pocket Books, Inc., 1963 great book First of all, let me just say that perhaps the previous reviewer should not rate the quality of the reading based on the paper quality of the actual book. As is the case with Irving Stones' other books, this one is also great. If you enjoy biographical novels, rather than just fact-filled, dry, biographies, then Irving Stone is one of the masters. I am sure that the facts may be a little "bent" ...             The Greek Treasure: A Biographical Novel of Henry and Sophia Schliemann (First Edition) Irving Stone Doubleday, 1975              search for books 1840-1900, about, andrew, autobiography, biographical, biographies, charles, darwin, digest, ecstasy, edition, greek, horseback, jackson, london, match, michelangelo, mountains, opening, origin, passions, president, rachel, reader, sailor, schliemann, sigmund, sophia, treasure, vincent books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
