Produktbeschreibung
Stimulating historical fiction for lovers of Rome and the world of antiquity centered on one of the greatest masterpieces of all time. A gripping account of a little-known figure responsible for a major archaeological discovery of the long-missing piece of an ancient sculpture in the Vatican Museums-a fabled work that astounded Michelangelo and other leading figures of the Renaissance. Pollak's Arm proves a literary thriller like no other, with special appeal for anyone interested in Rome and all aspects of history. It sheds light on an icon of Western art, as well as providing insights into art collecting, art dealing and the fascinating life story of a scholar tragically deported to Auschwitz after he declined the Vatican's offer of refuge from Nazi persecution.
