Beschreibung

“IT ALL BEGINS WITH Taylor Spielberg, a 28-year-old crypto prodigy who rides the post-Trump market surge to billionaire status — thanks to bold bets on Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Tesla (thank you, Elon Musk). But Taylor doesn’t just want wealth — he wants cultural immortality. He wants Modigliani’s Nu Couché.At the center: Evan Peterson, a seemingly flawless American investor and art broker, corrupted by ambition.”
 
“Beside him: Rebecca Langley Peterson, a brilliant federal prosecutor torn between justice and loyalty.In the shadows: a master forger, a soldier-turned-ghost-thief, and a young tech mogul willing to rewrite history.When Nu Couché vanishes from Guo Lian Huang’s ultra-secure Shanghai villa, the countdown begins.But this isn’t just a theft — it’s a declaration. A humiliation. A fracture.Guo Lian Huang, a powerful Chinese billionaire and art collector, launches a quiet but relentless manhunt — from opulent Singapore lounges to Eswatini palaces, London hideouts to secretive Scottish estates, New York’s shadowy freeports to seaside Hamptons retreats.What unfolds is a shocking revelation:Behind every masterpiece lies a war for power.”

    Written over a century and a half ago, Madame Bovary is still an extraordinarily fresh, exciting and shockingly frank novel, at once an acute psychological study of a woman drawn into adultery through circumstances we can partly understand, and a sharply-observed comedy that offers a fascinating glimpse of the social and cultural divisions running through French provincial society in the mid nineteenth century. This translation is by Eleanor Marx-Aveling, a prominent social activist and literary translator. She was the youngest daughter of Karl Marx.Gustave Flaubert was a highly influential, he has been considered the leading exponent of literary realism in his country. According to the literary theorist Kornelije Kvas, "in Flaubert, realism strives for formal perfection, so the presentation of reality tends to be neutral, emphasizing the values and importance of style as an objective method of presenting reality".He is known especially for his debut novel Madame Bovary (1857), his Correspondence, and his scrupulous devotion to his style and aesthetics. The celebrated short story writer Guy de Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert. On the occasion of Flaubert's 198th birthday (12 December 2019), a group of researchers at CNRS published a neural language model under his name.
