"Masterpieces and Crimes" is a collection of novellas by the famous lawyer, writer, collector, golfer, publicist, and traveler Alexander Andreevich Dobrovinsky.
In it, he humorously, joyfully, and with his characteristic subtle satire narrates the intrigues and secrets of the art world. You will observe the investigations of the most high-profile cases of thefts and forgeries that have intrigued minds for many years.
"There are only a few witnesses left among the participants of those events. But they will never tell anything," says Dobrovinsky. "They are masterpieces of painting and are obliged to remain silent. Instead, I will tell everything for them."
