Paperback. Condizione: Good. Meet Charles Buchanan. Small time art dealer. Philanderer. Art forger. A man whose success depends on the wall of secrecy that surrounds his work. A wall that is about to come crashing down. On the brink of pulling off the biggest and most profitable hoax of his life, the rediscovery of two Egon Schiele paintings hidden from the Nazis by their previous owner, Buchanan makes a terrible mistake. Unable to resist indulging in a new sexual conquest to celebrate, he embarks on a meaningless few hours of passion that have disastrous consequences when they are witnessed. Within days Buchanan's studio has been broken into, his car vandalized, and what appear to be his greatest assets have become his biggest liabilities. His brilliantly conceived and executed plan, a plan that reaches back more than half a century and involves events in France, Germany and England, begins to come unraveled as two of the women he has treated so cavalierly form an uneasy alliance. Buchanan's story is based on events from real life and has been kept under wraps for almost twenty years to protect the people it depicts. The ideas about value in the world it exposes will appeal to anyone who has ever wondered why it is that the importance of a statement seems to depend far more on who says it, than on what is said. Or why it is that a given work of art is worthy of reverence - and therefore incredibly valuable - if it is believed to be painted by a master, but if it is revealed to be a forgery, then its monetary value is destroyed. Where in a painting, print or drawing does the real value reside. …

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. Reprint edition. xxviii, [2], 456 pages. Frontis illustrations. Illustrations. Maps. Charts. Index. Introduction by Thomas M. Cooley (Chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission). This work was first published in 1888 and this reprint is from the 1897 edition. DJ has some wear, soiling, edge tears and chips. The American Railway provides an exciting look at the railroad industry in the 1880s and how it developed as the business boomed. Originally published in 1888, it contains a thorough history of how railroads were built, the types of railways, the lives of railway workers, the various ways the railway affected political and business economics, as well as the safety precautions of people who rode or worked with the railway system. You'll also find more than two hundred hand-drawn illustrations-visual representations of great steam engines, graceful bridges, life in a Pullman car, railway accidents, views of track construction, and portraits of railroad pioneers and magnates of the times-and stories from real rail workers. Learn how far we've come from such humble beginnings and grow to have a newfound appreciation for the railways that paved our country's future.…
