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>

這書不錯,不是說多麼有深刻含義,也不是說能教育我們如何如何(列位自己理解如何),關鍵是他有風趣的筆法和巧妙的安排帶我們領略瞭藝術殿堂陰影下蟲類們的日子。還有一個我推薦的原因是,翻譯不錯,以我的經驗來看,上世紀九十年代前的作品,好翻譯居多,壞的不多,想看什麼...
評分幾年前在人大聽一堂大課,課上瞭一半,幾個修理工模樣的人魚貫而入。 他們很有禮貌地對教授說道:“你們繼續,我們隻是把前幾天壞掉投影儀給拆下來修理。” 於是,教授講他的,我們聽我們的,修理工拆他們的。 後來他們拆完瞭,仍舊很有禮貌地嚮教授道歉,因為拆卸過程似乎打...
評分看這個書名 真的很難想到 作者會花那麼多筆墨去介紹(大)偵探 介紹大偵探也就罷瞭 還有他爹他娘他娘的娘他爹的爹。。。
評分這本書我的評價是較差,但這個較差不是針對原著作者,因為他寫的書究竟怎樣其實我不知道,可以肯定的是翻譯已經讓這本書麵目全非。 我看到評分很多人給四顆星,對此我感到十分睏惑。 首先這本書的中文譯名叫作《是名畫總會被偷的》,然而這本書的前幾章,乃至全書的一大半內...
