In the summer of 1885, three Frenchmen arrived in London for a brief shopping expedition. Among them was a Prince, a Count, and a commoner who, four years prior, had been the subject of one of John Singer Sargent's most renowned portraits. The commoner was Samuel Pozzi, a society doctor, pioneer gynecologist, and free-thinker—a scientific mind with a famously intricate personal life. Pozzi's life unfolded against the backdrop of the Parisian Belle Epoque, a beautiful era characterized by glamour, pleasure, and a darker side that bore striking similarities to our own time. The era was marked by hysteria, narcissism, decadence, and violence, offering a poignant reflection of human nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 452g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 129 x 197 x 27 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781529112313                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Julian Barnes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44101892997370,"sku":"9781529112313","price":7.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/8429d95bca1872ead3584abde3a48a33.jpg?v=1632109334","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/man-in-the-red-coat","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
