Beschreibung:
Les Furnanz built a career in high technology engineering prior to his retirement in 1996. He and his wife have traveled extensively throughout Europe and the globe. They originated the travel Web magazine High on Adventure in 1996 and sold the popular periodical in 2004, when Les started research for the novella Finding Vincent. He focused on Vincent's life in France and made trips to all the major locations where van Gogh lived and worked. He and his wife of fifty years continue to travel yearly to France and throughout Europe. Les is fluent in French and is an avid reader who especially enjoys historical novels. He currently lives near Portland, Oregon.
Vincent van Gogh committed suicide in 1890, and his brother, Theo, died soon thereafter. His widow, Johanna, was left with many paintings and the desire for Vincent's recognition. In this historical novel, Johanna hires Armand Roulin, painted by Vincent in Arles, to research the artists and villages of France where Vincent lived. Along the way he becomes attracted to a young woman in Auvers, also painted by Vincent. Join Armand as he travels in the steps of Vincent and meets Dr. Gachet, Paul Gauguin, Camille Pissaro, and other renown artists who worked with Vincent.
