The Disciple and His Devil: Gabriel Pascal Bernard ShawiUniverse, 2004 - 368 pagina's "One of the most shattering and upsetting stories I have read for a long time.

He broke himself--and several others--keeping up the option payments on it. One day Pascal looked at his wife's hand and said with amazement, 'I am going to leave you with millions, ' Nothing seemed less likely. He died penniless and deep in debt. "But the book ends with the first night of MY FAIR LADY." |
