Book Overview

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.

Una maravilla de novela

Este libro es de los mejores que he leido en mi vida. Es apasionante. El autor derrocha imaginación a raudales, una obra de arte en mi opinión. Está muy bien escrito y la conexión entre la trama de la historia y los movimientos de ajedrez son de una belleza extraordinaria. La comunicación entre personajes muertos y los vivos a través de un cuadro antiguo es algo realmente genial.

Cinematografico

Es frecuente al leer, visualizar el libro, como si lo estuvieran proyectando mentalmente. Creo que esa fue la intención del autor. La narración es tan perfecta, las descripciones de los personajes, tan real y detallada, la trama es tan interesante y apasionada...que inevitablemente se siente todo el libro como si estuviese en un escenario. Excelente historia que combina el humor negro con crímenes, arte y el ingenio del ajedrez como única posibilidad para descubrir al asesino. Con una pintura flamenca y su ingenua restauradora comienza la acción que desencadenará un inesperado final.

Intelligent and Intriguing Mystery

Arturo Perez-Reverte is an amazing writer, truly gifted not only in the art of spinning a creative and sophisticated mystery but also in jumping the cultural and historical boundaries.This book (as is The Club Dumas) is a bibliomystery fan's dream come true. Julia, a woman who restores paintings for a living, is asked to help restore a fifteenth-century masterpiece, the painting depicts a chess game between the Duke of Flanders and his knight - but within it is a hidden message - Who Killed The Knight and thus the novel begins.This book is filled to the brim with fascinating information about art, history and chess. If you liked this book you should run out and get The Eight by Katherine Neville- is another stunner!

Me encanta este libro.

Me parece tan bueno este libro, como mala la pelicula que inspiró. Si te gusto "El Club Dumas", "El maestro de esgrima", "El capitán Alatriste" o "Territorio Comanche", no te pierdas este libro.

The Flanders panel was excellent, seductive,mysterious

read the flanders panel over three years ago--the intensity, the suspense, the combination of painting and chess were fascinating--the build up to the end excellent.
