In the predawn gloom of a February day in 1994, two thieves entered the National Gallery in Oslo. They snatched one of the world's most famous paintings, Edvard Munch's <em>The Scream</em>, and fled with their $72 million trophy. The thieves made sure the world was watching: the Winter Olympics, in Lillehammer, began that same morning. Baffled and humiliated, the Norwegian police called on the world's greatest art detective, a half-English, half-American undercover cop named Charley Hill.</p>
In this rollicking narrative, Edward Dolnick takes us inside the art underworld. The trail leads high and low, and the cast ranges from titled aristocrats to thick-necked thugs. Lord Bath, resplendent in ponytail and velvet jacket, presides over a 9,000-acre estate. David Duddin, a 300-pound fence who once tried to sell a stolen Rembrandt, spins exuberant tales of his misdeeds. We meet Munch, too, a haunted misfit who spends his evenings drinking in the Black Piglet Café and his nights feverishly trying to capture in paint the visions in his head. The most compelling character of all is Charley Hill, an ex-soldier, a would-be priest, and a complicated mix of brilliance, foolhardiness, and charm. The hunt for <em>The Scream</em> will either cap his career and rescue one of the world's best-known paintings or end in a fiasco that will dog him forever.</p>
这书不错,不是说多么有深刻含义,也不是说能教育我们如何如何(列位自己理解如何),关键是他有风趣的笔法和巧妙的安排带我们领略了艺术殿堂阴影下虫类们的日子。还有一个我推荐的原因是,翻译不错,以我的经验来看,上世纪九十年代前的作品,好翻译居多,坏的不多,想看什么...
评分【呐喊】被偷了,在保安的眼皮低下……一个艺术品侦探的真实故事(不能多说,你们自己看,说了就不好玩了)。 另外一本书,也很有纪实风格,艺术品投资人自己揭露曾经参与的艺术品投资的内幕。 但是这些作家都不如丹·布朗,他们揭示真相,而他把谎言讲得跟真的一样,而且更...
评分这本书我的评价是较差,但这个较差不是针对原著作者,因为他写的书究竟怎样其实我不知道,可以肯定的是翻译已经让这本书面目全非。 我看到评分很多人给四颗星,对此我感到十分困惑。 首先这本书的中文译名叫作《是名画总会被偷的》,然而这本书的前几章,乃至全书的一大半内...
评分几年前在人大听一堂大课,课上了一半,几个修理工模样的人鱼贯而入。 他们很有礼貌地对教授说道:“你们继续,我们只是把前几天坏掉投影仪给拆下来修理。” 于是,教授讲他的,我们听我们的,修理工拆他们的。 后来他们拆完了,仍旧很有礼貌地向教授道歉,因为拆卸过程似乎打...
