爱德华·多尔尼克曾为《波士顿环球报》、《大西洋月刊》、《时代杂志》等报纸杂志撰稿,并有《进入伟大的未知世界》以及《睡椅上的疯狂》等多部著作。
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>
光听书名就够有趣的了,而且这还是一部严谨的纪实文学。 作者讲故事的能力一流棒,时而插叙时而倒叙,还用有趣的语言把每个人物的性格刻画的入木三分。 主人翁不用说了,一如我们所有警匪故事中的一样,非常聪明,富有个性。 只有盗匪跟我们一直被电视、电影、小说所引导的...
评分这不是旅行,不是巡展,是艺术品在黑夜、后车厢、储物柜、流氓、骗子、奸商、河流中的冒险,是继毒品买卖、军火走私之后的第三大国际黑市贸易。 博物馆,尤其藏有珍品的那些,总是戒备森严吗?他们用红外线感应?角落里都是隐蔽的探头?或者启动了某个装置整个博物馆都会自动封...
评分这本书解释了好多艺术犯罪及破案的最基本独特之处。 1. 艺术犯罪的简单。博物馆是公共事业,经费短缺,博物馆保安力量脆弱而业余,况且博物馆的责任不是把价值最高的资产保存好,而是给尽可能多的人看到。在超大型的博物馆,很少人光顾的展室会很容易得手,比如卢浮宫。私人藏...
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“名画不过是镶了框的巨额支票”这句话是从书里摘的。 作者爱德华·多尔尼克认为,小偷对博物馆美术馆毫无兴致,除非偷东西的时候。而驱使他们起了这个念头的,除了在黑道里争得荣誉感、在媒体上争得头版头条,或者是用这个作为条件跟政府谈判歪,最大的驱动力就是钱。 梵高...
