Synopsis de l’éditeur
"Sharon Waxman has written a compelling page turner about the world of antiquities and art-world skulduggery. She manages to combine rigorous, scholarly reporting with a flair for intrigue and personality that gives "Loot" the fast pace of a novel. I enjoyed it immensely."--Tina Brown ""Loot" is a riveting foray into the biggest question facing museums today: who should own the great works of ancient art? Sharon Waxman is a first-rate reporter, a veritable Euphronios of words, who not only explores the legal and moral ambiguities of the conflict but brings to life the colorful -- even outrageous -- personalities facing off for a high noon showdown over some of the world's iconic works of art. Vivid, witty, and delightful, this book will beguile any reader with an interest in art and museums."--Douglas Preston, author of "The Monster of Florence" "Sharon Waxman's "Loot" is the most instructive as well as the most intelligent (and the most entertaining) guide through the labyrinth
