In the summer of 1885, three Frenchmen arrived in London for a few days' shopping. One was a Prince, one was a Count, and the third was a commoner, who four years earlier had been the subject of one of John Singer Sargent's greatest portraits.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The commoner was Samuel Pozzi, society doctor, pioneer gynaecologist and free-thinker - a scientific man with a famously complicated private life. Pozzi's life played out against the backdrop of the Parisian Belle Epoque. The beautiful age of glamour and pleasure more often showed its ugly side: hysterical, narcissistic, decadent and violent, with more parallels to our own age than we might imagine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublished: UK, 2021\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublisher: Vintage Publishing\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePages: 280\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 13: 9781529112313\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 10: 1529112311\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Julian Barnes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44843491688714,"sku":"","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781529112313.jpg?v=1699005321","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/the-man-in-the-red-coat-1","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
