And less dreadfully unhappy than her better ones. Lalala! ( ) Audiobook..................A lovely novella by Edith Wharton about what happens when a person sees the dawn of a new era before everyone else. In this case, the foreseer is a young man discovering the artwork of some of the Italian masters of religious art in the late 1800s. The story is moving because of the man's passion and deep belief in the art, along with the sacrifices he makes waiting for the "one man" to come along who will "unerstand" his collection.

The first of four novellas, together called Old New York, set in the mid-1800s. Lewis Raycie is sent on a grand tour of Europe with instructions from his father to acquire a collection of accepted Art Works. His father's dream is to own a Raphael; instead, Lewis returns with a priceless collection of Renaissance masterpieces by Piero della Francesca and others of equal stature. They are, however, unknown in America. His father is appalled and disinherits him. His family ridicules him. But it is only after Lewis dies that the magnificent collection gets the recognition it really deserves. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
