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>

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...
评分这本书的扉页正面是这样写的: 站在钢丝上才是生活 其他一切都只是候场 ——卡尔·瓦兰达 然后,翻到扉页背面,最下面写的是: 卡尔·瓦兰达,世界著名杂技演员,在表演时坚决不系安全带。1970年卡尔·瓦兰达在一次高空表演中因风速过高,从37米处坠落丧生。 ...
评分从此书可以学习到,欧洲的博物馆、艺术馆之类的保安设备很落后,但是人家很实在,展出的都是真东西!所以才有这么搞笑的偷盗史…… 所以还是应该向中国的博物馆学习啊!上海博物馆里全是复制品,一般没有谁会去偷只有10岁年龄的尿壶的吧……
