Walking Among Giants: A Painter in Paradise

Description

Artist Robert Tauney was always a dreamer. After serving in the Great War, He ventures home to mourn the death of his beloved mother and confront his worst enemy, his own personal demons.

After serving in the Great War, Robert follows his inspiration to venture to Paris, France. He soon befriends film stars, painters, and authors, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Modigliani, Soutine, Picasso, Erik Satie, James Joyce, Ezra Pound, and many other creative intellectuals of the time. The plot deepens with unrequited love, the Model/Entertainer Kiki of Montparnasse and Camille Bastain (Tigress), a French actress who slowly pulls him into the dark world of opium and drugs.

Robert will soon find out that Paris has an ancient secret awaiting him. In an epoch time of passion and a sexual revolution, a symbolic tidal wave of destruction and chaos is forming. Robert is at the crossroads of his life and must make a crucial decision or be swept away in the tsunami of deception and denial, while facing impossible odds.

Walking Among Giants is an epic love story that crosses oceans and time, capturing the history of the modern art era—Jazz, flappers, and wild all-night parties—witnessed through the memoirs of a young painter in the 1920s.
