CYCLE III The Gift
CYCLE III The Gift
Every Gift Comes With a Price
«The Gift» — a cycle of biographical parables about people who were granted the ability to see, to hear, and to create what had never existed before.
Stories of Phineas Taylor Barnum, Nikola Tesla, Vincent van Gogh, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Anna Pavlova, Coco Chanel, and other great creators whose talents changed the way the world is perceived.
But exceptional talent is not only the ability to create.
It is a trial that demands an entire life.
Behind the radiance of genius lies an eternal question: what can a person’s gift give them — and what can it never replace?
