Book Synopsis White Stag of Exile by : Thomas W. Shapcott
Book excerpt: In 1899 the brilliant and urbane art collector, Karoly Pulszky, found his final refuge in Australia. His vision - to make his Fine Arts Museum in Budapest the most renowned in Europe - became an obsession which broke him, leading to the scandal that hounded him into exile. "Pulszky's is the story of glittering cosmopolitan society; of passion, pride and madness; of a man entangled in the political intrigues of his time. In telling it, Thomas Shapcott has woven fact and fiction, with subtle artistry, into the richly ambiguous texture of truth." - summary from back cover.
