Dans ce récit passionnant et passionné, Irving Stone, en une fresque éclaboussée de couleurs, fait revivre toute l'histoire de la Renaissance italienne, de la Florence de Laurent le Magnifique à la Rome de Jules II, de Léon X et de Clément VII. Mais avant tout il réussit à saisir de l'intérieur une âme d'artiste, blessée par l'incompréhension, en proie à des joies et des affres inconnues de la plupart des hommes, enfermée dans l'orgueilleuse solitude du génie. Un roman tout en puissance et en frémissements, à l'image de son héros, Michel-Ange.

While it is a fictionalized account of the relationship between Abigail and John Adams, it has been thoroughly researched and is accurate as far as the events in there are concerned. John and Abigail Adams were true partners in life. Their letters to one another showed that John considered Abigail not his wife, but his best friend, his intellectual equal and his greatest confidante. The book starts with the meeting of Abigail and John and their courtship in spite of her mother's initial disapproval. It centers mostly on Abigail who had the burden of making it all work while her husband pursued his political ambitions. They spent long periods of time apart while John was serving in Congress or in Europe. Quite often she had to do her best to make ends meet while John was not paid or belatedly paid by the government for his work.

Our most acclaimed author of biographical and historical fiction has turned his magnificent talent to telling America's most colorful and exciting story-the opening of the Far West. Men to Match My Mountains is a true historical masterpiece, an unforgettable pageant of giants-men like John Sutter, whose dream of paradise was shattered by the California Gold Rush; Brigham Young and the Mormons who tamed the desert with Bible texts; and the silver kings and the miners who developed Nevada's Comstock Lode and settled the Rockies. America called for greatness ... and got it. There is nothing else in history to match the stories of these men who braved a wilderness to bring a new nation to the shores of the Pacific. Book jacket.

A sympathetic portrait of Mary Todd Lincoln. The author pictures her marriage to Abraham Lincoln as a great love story.

The finest, most accurate, heartfelt, and insightful biography of one of America's (and the world's) finest authors. Mr. Stone began work on this volume in 1936, just twenty years after Jack London's death. Stone had the full cooperation of London's second wife, Charmian, his sister, Eliza Shepard, and his first wife, Bessie Maddern as well as a multitude of other key individuals who knew Jack London well, and were still living at the time of this book's publication. He was allowed unprecedented access to Jack London's correspondence and business papers, previously kept private, and had the opportunity to interview those people closest to London to gain the kind of first-person insight impossible in later years.
