Tulip Fever (Film Tie-In)

Resumen del libro

The film adaptation of Tulip Fever is set to hit the big screen in 2015: it is scripted by Sir Tom Stoppard, and boasts an all-star cast featuring Jack O'Connell (nominated for 2015's Bafta Rising Star award) Judi Dench, Christoph Waltz, Cara Delevingne and Tom Hollander. Seventeenth-century Amsterdam is a city in the grip of tulip mania, basking in the wealth it has generated. Sophia's husband Cornelis, an ageing merchant, is among those grown rich from this exotic new flower. To celebrate, he commissions a talented young artist to paint him with his young bride. But as the portrait grows, so does the passion between Sophia and the painter; and as ambitions, desires and dreams breed an intricate deception, their reckless gamble propels their lives towards a thrilling and tragic conclusion.
