2629218The Ballroomhttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-ballroom-1230004727972/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2775264/67ca045d-6422-4a32-b831-5c0f08eb33f2.jpg?v=6383844348907700006161MXNSimon SoboInStock/Ebooks/<p>Set in the mid-19th century, The Ballroom tells a beauty-and-the-beast love story of a rich but tightfisted businessman and a poor, lovely ingénue. Vincent Van Doren is a hard-headed, cussing, tobacco chewing man. He quit school in the third grade because he was unable to take on his teacher who took pleasure in humiliating him. His fathers repeated foolishness kept the family poor and reduced the familys name to a joke. Fortunately, Vincent was big and strong enough to put an end to whatever torture kids threw at him. Even at the age of 50 Van Doren still gets into fist fights, but his persistence has made him phenomenally wealthy, even if his crudeness still brings the disdain of old money New Yorkers.</p><p>Along comes Belize, his nephews stunning French fiancé. Van Dorens wife, Julia, saw the way Vincents eyes locked on Belize the first time he saw her. It was a momentary glimpse and when they formally met he was proper, but she knew her husband well.</p><p>Belizes troubled beginnings paralleled Van Dorens. She fled to Paris at age 14 to escape her fathers mistreatment. Alone in Paris, she worked as a shop girl at Les Trois Quartiers. There she was smitten. Like other girls her age Belize longed not only to change into a person she was not and perhaps might never be. More to the point, she longed to possess and surround herself with what she would never own. Even at sixteen, after she had worked there for two years, her job wasnt work. It was an affair with the items she sold.</p><p>Van Doren is dazzled by Belizes beauty and even more by her eye for beauty. He never considered that his life could be this rich. His ability to delight her, fulfilling her dreams, satisfies him more than anything he has ever done. His fortune and her passion produce extraordinary results. She hangs a Rembrandt, a Corot, a Delacroix in the Clarkson Ballroom of his Boston Hotel. The Metropolitan Museum of Art later asked to borrow the tapestries they brought back from France. Their collaboration creates the magical place the ballroom remains to this day.</p>...2565231The Ballroom6161https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-ballroom-1230004727972/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2775264/67ca045d-6422-4a32-b831-5c0f08eb33f2.jpg?v=638384434890770000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20211230004727972_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_<p>Set in the mid-19th century, The Ballroom tells a beauty-and-the-beast love story of a rich but tightfisted businessman and a poor, lovely ingénue.
