Böcker av George Owen

In the heart of 19th-century Paris, Julian Mercier and Édouard Manet share a friendship that has weathered more than three decades of trials and tribulations. They navigate the tumultuous world of art and criticism, where every stroke of the brush and every word written hold the power to shape their destinies.When Édouard's life draws to a close, Julian stands among the mourners at his funeral, reminiscing about their enduring bond. Memories of shared laughter and fierce battles against critics flood Julian's mind, set against the backdrop of the vibrant world of 19th-century Paris.But it isn't all camaraderie and creativity. When Édouard challenges a critic to a duel over a scathing critique, Julian fears for his friend's life. The duel in the serene Saint-Germain Forest becomes a battle not just of swords but of ambition and ego. As swords clash and lives hang in the balance, Julian and Édouard, navigate the treacherous waters of artistic rivalry.With wit, courage, and a hint of irony, "The Shadow of an Artist" explores the enduring power of friendship, the complexities of artistic ambition, and the lengths one will go to defend their passion.
