Paul Gauguin's Son: The Life and Times of Emile Gauguin

EMILE GAUGUIN’S TALE (SOLDIER OF FORTUNE, CEO OF AN ELECTRIC COMPANY, AND HOMELESS VAGRANT) HAS A HAPPY ENDING: THAT IS WHEN HE MET COAUTHOR FRANK. What they are saying:“Will prove to be one of the most comprehensive accounts of the Gauguin family.” Michelle, Gauguin specialist and book author.“Loved reading this … the story, the flow.” Jonas Gauguin, great-grandson.“Information-packed … fascinating.” Englewood Sun.“Amazing book.” Jacob Gauguin, great-grandson.“Well researched, engaging.” Joseph Diamond, (federal attorney).“A little gem.” Thomas Sullivan, best-selling author.“They upset the apple cart.” Philippe Gauguin, grandson, talking about the family’s preconceived opinion.”Ambitious work is an excellent resource.” S. Madiq, website designerEmile Gauguin repeatedly told his cousin, Maria Elena, he was a failure. A famous father was the cause. He just could never measure up.Still he remained a proud, engineer-adventurer-warrior leading rebel combatants, cheating death in the northern Andes, constantly searching for work on three continents, continually facing financial collapse, fighting off hunger as a homeless transient in the American Great Depression, having to deal with three colossal marital breakups and reconciliations.And yet, suddenly, at his life’s darkest hour, most likely suicidal, when he wrote his cousin, detailing page-after-page his pathetic existence … almost as a miracle … his life two thirds over … changed to one of happiness and peace."Loved reading this ... the story, the flow." Jonas Gauguin, great-grandson.
