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>
读罢此书总算明白了,偷画贼并不像电影里那么潇洒、高智商,他们也是普通人,甚至很笨。大多数贼并不懂得名画的价值,因此,很多名画被盗后没有好好保存,垃圾箱,洗衣机后面...甚至被撕毁或者扔到河里,各种可能都有。在偷画贼眼中,如果名画卖不出手,就毁掉它,这样至少不...
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……
评分1994年2月12日一大早,两名男子在50秒内,用一架梯子就偷走了在挪威国家美术馆展出的、价值七千二百万美元的<呐喊>,爱德华·蒙克最出名的作品,容易得难以相信,甚至爬梯子时还搞笑地掉下来过一次。 本书围绕这次失窃,讲述了许多有关艺术名,尤其是名画失窃的历史、情景、内...
