This book is a compilation of the books "Vincent in Drenthe" and "The Journey of the Painter Vincent van Gogh." In this book, you can read about Vincent's experiences during his three-month stay in Drenthe in the autumn of 1883. His highs and lows, but above all, the conclusion Vincent himself reached about that stay. In Drenthe, Vincent discovered his life's purpose, his destiny: to be a skilled and successful painter, no longer dependent on Theo's money. With his departure from Drenthe, his journey toward that goal begins. It takes him via Nuenen, Antwerp, Paris, Arles, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, and back to Paris, to Auvers-sur-Oise. There, we meet Vincent again, and he recounts his experiences during that long journey.
