[German] - An der Seite van Goghs (ungekürzt): Roman

"1888 zieht die Niederländerin Johanna Bonger nach Paris. Sie saugt das dortige Savoir Vivre auf und fällt durch ihren scharfen Verstand und ihr Kunstverständnis auf. Als sie den Galeristen Theo van Gogh heiratet, ist sie aus der pulsierenden Pariser Bohème nicht mehr wegzudenken. Gemeinsam mit Theos jüngerem Bruder, dem hochtalentierten, aber mittellosen Maler Vincent van Gogh, bilden die drei ein intellektuelles Gespann. Doch dann stirbt Vincent, und sein nahezu unbekanntes Werk droht in der Versenkung zu verschwinden. Das kann und wird Johanna auf keinen Fall zulassen …"

[Italian] - La signora Van Gogh

"Quando Johanna Bonger arriva a Parigi non ha idea di cosa possa riservarle il destino: in fuga dalla bigotta Amsterdam dopo una relazione clandestina con un uomo che non l'avrebbe mai sposata, con l'onta dello scandalo che la segue come un'ombra, si rifugia dall'amato fratello, decisa a perseguire la sua vocazione artistica. È qui che incontra Theo Van Gogh, fratello del giovane pittore Vincent, intrecciando con lui una burrascosa relazione, resa ancor più precaria dai comportamenti ambigui di Vincent; nella Parigi di fine Ottocento, tra atmosfere bohémiennes, artisti in odore di fama e fermenti culturali e sociali, l'insolito trio vive tra alti e bassi, facendosi notare nei caffè e nei locali frequentati da pittori e poeti. E quando Johanna accetterà di sposare Theo, il suo ingresso nella famiglia Van Gogh, e nella vita di Vincent, è sancito per sempre. Johanna gli sarà accanto nei momenti più drammatici, guardando nascere quella straordinaria visione artistica che rivoluzionerà per sempre il modo di intendere l'arte, e testimone partecipe ma impotente della discesa nella follia e nella malattia del grande artista. Ma sarà dopo la morte di entrambi i fratelli che la giovane vedova Van Gogh, metterà in atto il suo modo di cambiare la storia: riuscendo a imporre i quadri del cognato prima nelle gallerie e tra i mercanti d'arte di Parigi, poi nel mondo. Oggi, ormai dimenticata, Johanna Bonger è indubitabilmente la persona che ha fatto di Van Gogh il più grande pittore al mondo; e questa è la sua storia. contributori LE Samia Kassir"
