La Tabla De Flandes
Resumen del Libro
La novela que catapultó a la fama a Arturo Pérez-Reverte.Una restauradora de arte encuentra una inscripción oculta, en forma de partida de ajedrez, en el lienzo de un pintor famenco del siglo XV. El hallazgo provoca que una singular galería de personajes emprenda una turbulenta aventura para desvelar el misterio. Pero no se trata de un enigma cualquiera: tal vez constituya la clave de un secreto que pudo haber cambiado la historia de Europa. Los movimientos del ajedrez marcarán, paso a paso, el éxito o el fracaso de una pesquisa siempre acechada por un diabólico juego de trampas. English Description A fifteenth-century painting by a Flemish master is about to be auctioned when Julia, a young art restorer, discovers a peculiar inscription hidden in a corner: Who killed the knight? In the painting, the Duke of Flanders and his knight are locked in a game of chess, and a dark lady lurks mysteriously in the background. Julia is determined to solve the five-hundredyear- old murder, but as she begins to look for clues, several of her friends in the art world are brutally murdered in quick succession. Messages left with the bodies suggest a crucial connection between the chess game in the painting, the knights murder, the sordid underside of the contemporary art world, and the latest deaths. Just when all of the players in the mystery seem to be pawns themselves, events race toward a shocking conclusion. A thriller like no other, The Flanders Panel presents a tantalizing puzzle for any connoisseur of mystery, chess, art, and history.
