A story of heroic proportions, "The Fabulous Life of Diego Rivera" captures a career more extravagant and dramatic than most fiction. It is peopled by Rivera's friends and enemies, men such as Picasso, Cocteau, Trotsky and Rockefeller, by his many, many women, including four wives, and by his disowned children.
 The places are as exciting as the people: Paris, Spain, San Francisco, New York, Moscow, and above all, Mexico. "I doubt if any other land," says Wolfe, "has had so much of its life set down on wall and canvas by any other painter."
 Here, then, is biography in the grand style, the story of a hugely talented artist wresting a vision of centuries past and centuries to come from within himself and transcribing them for all the world to see.

Elia Kazan, ethnic Greek but Turkish by birth, tells the story of the struggles of his uncle, Stavros Topouzoglou, in emigrating to America. In the 1890's, the young, kind-hearted but naive Stavros lives in Anatolia, where the Greek and Armenian minorities are repressed by the Turks, often through violent means. Even Stavros being friends with an Armenian was frowned upon. As such, Stavros dreamed of a better life - specifically in America - where, as a result, he could make his parents proud by his grand accomplishments. Instead, his parents, with most of their money, send Stavros to Constantinople to help fund the carpet shop owned by his first cousin once removed. What Stavros encounters on his journey, made on foot with a small donkey, makes him question life in Anatolia even further. Once in Constantinople, his resolve to earn the 110 Turkish pound third class fare to the United States becomes stronger than ever. Only an earlier good deed may have help him ultimately achieve his goal of reaching the United States and a better life.
