The life of Vincent de Paul, the great apostle of charity, is one of the most inspiring of all the Christian saints and his legacy is visible today through the internationally recognised charity that bears his name. In The World of Monsieur Vincent, Mary Purcell gives readers a fascinating portrait of the saint who saw 'Christ agonising in every human being who suffered, and who spent a lifetime in trying to assuage that agony'. Both the grandeur and the misery of life in seventeenth century France is vividly recaptured by the author as she traces Vincent de Paul’s long life (1580-1660). Here again we meet the young peasant, the priest, the captive slave, the religious reformer, and the founder of two great religious orders - the Vincentians and the Daughters of Charity - whose work continues today. The wealth of historical detail included in The World of Monsieur Vincent, first published in 1966, makes it a particularly valuable study of both a renowned saint’s life and the turbulent times in which he lived. With a new introduction by Pascal Scallon CM, the Provincial Superior of the Irish Province of the Vincentians and the National Spiritual Director of the SVP.
In this meticulously researched book, Stuart MacPherson tells the story of one of the greatest and most renowned artists the world has ever seen, Van Gogh.Stuart travelled across France, taking photographs of the places that so inspired Vincent to paint so magnificently. He recorded the modern sites of some of the landscapes which still move and inspire people over 130 years after the artist's death.He also chronicles the difficult and tragic life of Van Gogh. The struggles the painter had with alcohol, his mental health and his untimely death. Despite that, this book is a celebration of the life and genius of Van Gogh.Unfortunately, Stuart did not live to see this work published, but it is a truly beautiful memorial to his passion for Vincent.
Vincent van Gogh's letters are frequently admired for theirexceptional literary quality, but there is no extended critique of thisaspect of his writing. Addressing key constellations of metaphors andideas, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh shows the remarkableimaginative coherence underlying the painter's correspondence andcharts van Gogh's evolving conception of himself as anartist.
