Sobre este artículo
New York: Little, Brown and Company, 2010. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First edition. Fine in fine dustwrapper. Very warmly Inscribed by Kostova to her fellow author Nicholas Delbanco and his wife: "For Nicholas and Elena, darling friends, with love and admiration, Elizabeth Kostova. December 2009." Delbanco taught creative writing at the University of Michigan where Kostova received her MFA and where she won the Hopgood Award, both of which Delbanco supervised. Delbanco is mentioned in the acknowledgments:of this book: "Nicholas Delbanco, cherished mentor, for his reading and for discussions of Monet and Sisley..." A very nice association.
Sinopsis
Psychiatrist Andrew Marlow, devoted to his profession and the painting hobby he loves, has a solitary but ordered life. When renowned painter Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and becomes his patient, Marlow finds that order destroyed. Desperate to understand the secret that torments the genius, he embarks on a journey that leads him into the lives of the women closest to Oliver and a tragedy at the heart of French Impressionism. Kostova's masterful new novel travels from American cities to the coast of Normandy, from the late 19th century to the late 20th, from young love to last love. THE SWAN THIEVES is a story of obsession, history's losses, and the power of art to preserve human hope.
