Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Una novela de aventuras que retrata el delito internacional mas insolito de la historia del arte, protagonizada por la enigmatica figura del estafador argentino Marques de Valfierno. Una exquisita e inteligente mirada en torno a la identidad, la clase y el arte, todo en una historia intrigante basada en hechos reales.Kirkus Lo llamaron el robo del siglo, aunque el siglo recien empezaba. Por el acusaron y detuvieron a Picasso y Apollinaire, pero pronto tuvieron que soltarlos y asumir que no tenian ni idea de quien se habia llevado la Gioconda de su sala del Louvre. La verdad se sigue discutiendo: lo mas probable es que el cerebro de la operacion fuera un argentino que se hacia llamar marques de Valfierno. Con esa hipotesis, con esa historia oscura, Martin Caparros construye una novela en la que recrea la vida del estafador que tuvo en vilo a Francia durante anos y que confeso, poco antes de morir, que habia planeado el robo por la razon mas sorprendente. Valfierno recibio en 2004 el Premio Planeta Sudamerica y ha sido traducida a una docena de idiomas: con un estilo elegante y depurado, es sin duda una de las novelas mas leidas y lograda de Caparros.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe Vanishing of the Mona Lisa is a captivating fictionalization of the greatest art theft of the twentieth century. On August 22, 1911, the world was shocked by an unthinkable and audacious crime: Leonardo Da Vincis masterpiece, the Mona Lisa, disappeared from the walls of the Louvre.While artists such as Picasso and Apollinaire were suspected of the theft, no arrests were made. Two years later an Italian, Vincenzo Peruggia, was detained when trying to sell the Mona Lisa to an antiques dealer in Florencebut the mystery of the theft itself was never satisfactorily resolved. In his spellbinding novel, Martin Caparros tackles this enigma, presenting us with a fascinating criminal unable to go to his grave without divulging the details of his outrageous heist. In tantalizing conversations with an American journalist, the Marques de Valfierno sheds light on his past secrets, including his sordid origins as Bollino, son of a Buenos Aires servant woman, a man ultimately transformed into the most notorious con artist in the world. A sly and consummate entertainer, Valfierno reveals the shifting identities of the anonymous Argentine boy who has gone on to become a veritable artist, creating for himself the perfect role of wealthy aristocrat in Belle Epoque, Paris, as he prepares for his crime. Featuring an engaging cat-and-mouse drama with unforgettable characters, this is a brilliant fictionalization of the greatest theft of the twentieth century, as well as a compelling psychological portrait of a true mastermind.
