This translation by Alex Danchev is based on a thorough re-examination of Cezanne's correspondence with family, friends and major figures from the literary and art worlds. Danchev's great achievement is to allow readers in English to hear Cezanne's voice for the first time in his own idiomatic, idiosyncratic style.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd he sounds rather different from the Cezanne we thought we knew - richer, wittier, wiser, more philosophical, more irascible, above all more fully human. The letters offer fresh perspectives on his artistic vision, politics, friendships, psychology, philosophy, literary tastes and classical frame of reference. They provide an intimate insight into the preoccupations and personality of a legend.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eAlex Danchev\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 392 pages | 20 black and white and 55 colour illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e July 2019\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 978-0500295175\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e24.1 x 16.8 \u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003ecm\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Museum Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46092982157485,"sku":"9780500295175","price":24.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/8493\/0989\/files\/the-letters-of-paul-cezanne-9780500295175-28345370738761.jpg?v=1780926884","url":"https:\/\/norlato.com\/products\/the-letters-of-paul-cezanne","provider":"norlato","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
