Modigliani's New Novel Submitted to the “Amazon Kindle Storyteller 2025 Writing Competition”
















Hello,


Of the two Modigliani novels I have written, following the previously published English edition "Modigliani: Another Portrait" (Korean title: "모딜리아니: 또 다른 삶의 초상") on Amazon, the second book, "In the Shadow of Eternity: The Story of Modigliani & Jeanne," has now been completed and submitted as an entry to the "Amazon Kindle Storyteller 2025 Writing Competition" hosted by Amazon UK. It is also available for sale in both eBook and paperback formats on Amazon worldwide, including Amazon US.


This novel is a humble tribute to the sublime and heartbreaking love between the Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani and his last muse, Jeanne Hébuterne. It traces the tender arc of their brief yet incandescent love story, beginning in 1917 when they first met, and ending in 1920 with their tragic and untimely deaths.

 

This story is not only about tragedy. It is about transcendence. It is about love so radiant, so all-consuming, it becomes eternal. To all who have ever loved deeply, and lost deeply—this story is for you.

 

You can find the e-book and paperback editions of In the Shadow of Eternity: The Story of Modigliani & Jeanne” on Amazon at the links below:

New Modigliani Novel Now Available on Amazon















Hello,

I’m pleased to announce that the English version of my new novel, currently available in South Korea as an e-book and audiobook, is now being sold worldwide as both an e-book and paperback under the title Modigliani: Another Portrait on Amazon, including Amazon US.

This book is based on an alternative scenario: what if the real-life events that shaped Modigliani’s life had never happened? For example, what if his family hadn’t gone bankrupt when he was born and had remained wealthy? What if he hadn’t suffered from tuberculosis? What if he hadn’t turned to alcohol and drugs? And what if he had never met Jeanne? This novel imagines how Modigliani’s life might have unfolded under circumstances completely opposite to the ones he actually experienced.

You can find the e-book and paperback editions of Modigliani: Another Portrait” on Amazon at the links below:
