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>
具體描述
讀後感
一直就對自己無知的領域格外感興趣。這本書從商品角度講，排版、紙張都格外令人滿意。作為一部記錄片寫實的作品來說，內容絕對是我們這些非官非賊非藝術傢的普通百姓所毫不知曉的。中間名畫和名偵探的照片，更是讓人充滿想象。似一部充滿智慧的偵探小說，個人感覺還有點謝爾頓...
評分這不是旅行，不是巡展，是藝術品在黑夜、後車廂、儲物櫃、流氓、騙子、奸商、河流中的冒險，是繼毒品買賣、軍火走私之後的第三大國際黑市貿易。 博物館，尤其藏有珍品的那些，總是戒備森嚴嗎？他們用紅外綫感應？角落裏都是隱蔽的探頭？或者啓動瞭某個裝置整個博物館都會自動封...
評分我非常喜歡這本書的前半部分，特彆是講到藝術犯罪的操作方式和這個領域發生的奇聞異事的部分，初讀起來既新奇又有趣，是一個對大韆世界廣度愛好者來說的全新視口。敘述的結構大緻是以《呐喊》這幅超級名畫在挪威失竊繼而被希爾等探員追迴為主綫，當中不斷穿插跟藝術犯罪有關的...
評分聽起來很荒唐，博物館的貴重展品竟然可以稱為最容易偷盜的物品之一。有時候搶劫也行。博物館的安保措施從來很差，保險買的也不足夠。即便丟失瞭展品，由於要耗費太多的時間和金錢，進行太多的謀劃，動用太多的人力，很多情況下警方搜尋也不積極。畢竟沒有死人，很多展品丟失瞭...
評分光聽書名就夠有趣的瞭，而且這還是一部嚴謹的紀實文學。 作者講故事的能力一流棒，時而插敘時而倒敘，還用有趣的語言把每個人物的性格刻畫的入木三分。 主人翁不用說瞭，一如我們所有警匪故事中的一樣，非常聰明，富有個性。 隻有盜匪跟我們一直被電視、電影、小說所引導的...
