Download or read book Stone's Fall written by Iain Pears and published by Random House. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 934 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At his London home, John Stone falls out of a window to his death. A financier and arms dealer, Stone was a man so wealthy that he was able to manipulate markets, industries, and indeed entire countries and continents. Did he jump, was he pushed, or was it merely a tragic accident? His alluring and enigmatic widow hires a young crime reporter to investigate. The story moves backward in time—from London in 1909 to Paris in 1890 and finally to Venice in 1867—and the attempts to uncover the truth play out against the backdrop of the evolution of high-stakes international finance, Europe’s first great age of espionage, and the start of the twentieth century’s arms race. Stone’s Fall is a tale of love and frailty, as much as it is of high finance and skulduggery. The mixture, then, as now, is an often fatal combination.

Book excerpt: In the summer of 1911 the German writer Thomas Mann visited Venice in the company of his wife Katia. There, in the Grand Hotel des Bains, as he waited for the dinner-gong to ring, Mann's roving eye was drawn to a nearby Polish family, the Moeses, consisting of a mother, three daughters and a young sailor-suited son of almost supernatural physical beauty and grace. By subsequently writing Death in Venice, the infatuated Mann made of that boy, Wladyslaw Moes, one of the 20th century's most potent and enduring icons.But who precisely was the boy? And what was his reaction to the publication of Death in Venice in 1912 and, later, the release of Visconti's film version in 1971?
