Van Gogh
On May 8th, 1889, Vincent Van Gogh was admitted to a mental asylum near St.-Remy-de-Provence where he remained as a voluntary patient until May the following year. Throughout the year, Van Gogh enjoyed a continuous dialogue with his brother about his art, his mental condition, his hopes and ambitions, and from time to time his despair and sense of failure. The asylum year saw Vincent at his most raw and needy, but also at his most creative - turning out the equivalent of a masterpiece a day. This book offers an account, month by month, of that crucial penultimate chapter in Van Gogh s life. It is separated from the other chapters in the artist s life because although treated in all the numerous biographies it is none the less a self-contained episode, a play within a play, with a shape and dynamic of its own. Van Gogh s asylum year is unlike any other year in the long history of art."
In Search of Art
Edwin Mullins has had a long and distinguished career as both an arts journalist and a presenter of TV arts programmes. In Search of Art is a collection of vividly told recollections of both his extraordinary adventures, visiting famous artists, and the discoveries he made when on assignments for indulgent newspaper editors in the days of generous budgets. Blessed with a prodigious memory, and fully armed with the notebooks and diaries he has always kept, he has included in this collection of true stories, some accounts which resemble very closely some of the situations in which William Boot found himself in Evelyn Waugh's Scoop.

In Search of Cluny
A thousand years ago the French abbey of Cluny was the hub of one of the most powerful empires of the Middle Ages, and the spiritual heart of Europe. Nearly 1,500 religious houses were subject to its authority, and it was the seat of immense political power throughout the Christian world. The abbots of Cluny were among the most formidable men of their day; they were friends and advisers to successive popes and Holy Roman Emperors, as well as to the kings of England, France and Spain. They were also among the greatest builders the world has known, responsible for some of the finest mediaeval architecture, painting and sculpture.
