In the heart of 19th-century Paris, Julian Mercier and Édouard Manet share a friendship that has weathered more than three decades of trials and tribulations. They navigate the tumultuous world of art and criticism, where every stroke of the brush and every word written hold the power to shape their destinies.When Édouard's life draws to a close, Julian stands among the mourners at his funeral, reminiscing about their enduring bond. Memories of shared laughter and fierce battles against critics flood Julian's mind, set against the backdrop of the vibrant world of 19th-century Paris.But it isn't all camaraderie and creativity. When Édouard challenges a critic to a duel over a scathing critique, Julian fears for his friend's life. The duel in the serene Saint-Germain Forest becomes a battle not just of swords but of ambition and ego. As swords clash and lives hang in the balance, Julian and Édouard, navigate the treacherous waters of artistic rivalry.With wit, courage, and a hint of irony, "The Shadow of an Artist" explores the enduring power of friendship, the complexities of artistic ambition, and the lengths one will go to defend their passion.

Do you have bedtime battles with your kids?One little dinosaur will help them get ready for bed!On a sunny afternoon just after the big shadows began to grow below the trees, a brachiosaurus was born. There were no doctors, no hospital, not even a birth certificate back then. This little dinosaur had to break through the hard eggshell all on his own. Most of the dinosaurs hatched from eggs in giant nests built from dirt and rock. While some dinosaurs like the stegosaurus and the pterodactyl had four to six eggs per nest, the Brachiosaurus had one or maybe two at a time.That brings us back to our new friend who saw his first sunset over 199 million years ago. Before toys, books, cars, even dogs, cats, and people were here. They had the entire earth to themselves which meant there was a lot of exploring to do. Thankfully we have a friend to travel around with.His name was Little Lucky, and it is clear to see why. All the herbivores from around the nesting grounds came to see the new-born dinosaur with the four-leaf clover on his back. Although he was born from an egg, he already weighed a whopping 150 pounds, and he was just an average baby Brachiosaur! His mother and father were jumping with joy; this had to be a sign that they'd have good luck. Lucky was born right after his twin brothers Brak and Bruk who were even larger and wider than he was. It was a happy day for the Brachiosaurus family, and it was only the beginning.Full-color pictures with funny scenesSimple lessons in an easy to understand mannerPerfect bedtime book that keep your kids interestedBoard game and other creative games are includedScroll up and grab a copy today.
