Sullo sfondo della Grande Guerra, che scardina le famiglie allontanandone i componenti e che divide le coscienze alla luce del nuovo disordine mondiale, il caso fa incontrare nuovamente, dopo molti anni, una nobile signora inglese ed un conte tedesco, ferito e prigioniero del Paese divenuto nemico. Incontro dopo incontro, quel rapporto, dapprima superficiale, si approfondisce sempre di più; un rapporto strano, fatto di attrazione e repulsione insieme, che il lettore vede scorrere nella sua ambivalenza fino allo scioglimento finale, determinato dal ritorno dalla guerra del marito di lei. Scrittore inglese. Figlio di un minatore e di una ex maestra, alla morte del fratello maggiore, divenne il centro emotivo della vita della madre, che riversò su di lui un amore troppo esigente e possessivo (sarà questo uno dei temi del romanzo Figli e amanti, Sons and lovers, 1913, una delle sue opere più potenti e compiute). Frequentò il Nottingham University College, dove si abilitò all'insegnamento. Fece quindi l'insegnante, ma presto si dedicò interamente alla letteratura. Nel 1914 sposò una tedesca divorziata, Frieda von Richtofen, e visse con lei in Germania, Austria e Italia. Tornato in Inghilterra nel 1914, proclamò la sua avversione alla guerra. La sua fama di ribelle si accrebbe con la pubblicazione di un romanzo, L'arcobaleno.

Equally famous for his masterful canvasses and tumultuous mental health, Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) was, in many ways, the prototypical tortured artist.

But at the same time, he managed to produce some of the modern movement's most enduring masterpieces, and today his work sells for record-breaking sums whenever it comes up for auction. In this fascinating examination of Modigliani's life and works, Klaus H. Carl, Frances Alexander, and Jane Rogoyska turn their penetrating gaze on this most enigmatic of artistic geniuses. Their insightful text is accompanied by extracts from D.H. Lawrence's highly sensual novel Lady Chatterley's Lover, chosen to complement Modigliani's art and to give a new perspective to it.
