Overview

Una historia rocambolesca que destapa la cara más corrupta y salvaje del mundillo del arte. Por el autor de El abuelo que saltó por la ventana y se largó.

Victor Svensson, un tipo ambicioso y sin escrúpulos, se casa con la hija de un multimillonario galerista en los últimos momentos de la vida de este. Cuando el hombre fallece, Victor engaña a su mujer y logra hacerse con el negocio y ver colmadas por fin sus ansias de dinero y poder. Sin embargo, la aparición en escena de un hijo bastardo de Victor, fruto de una antigua relación, podría dar al traste con sus planes, y no está dispuesto a permitirlo. A partir de este punto se desarrolla una divertidísima trama de enredos que mezcla de forma asombrosa la realidad de las tribus masáis, la obra de la pintora Irma Stern, la figura de Hitler y el papel del arte en la configuración de su destino y, sobre todo, la sed de venganza de un joven sin nada que perder.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The beloved author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared returns with an enchanting adventure that skewers the greed and hypocrisy that dominates our time and holds lessons about what's truly important in life.

Meet Ole Mbatian Jr., a Maasai warrior; Kevin, his sort-of-son; Agneta, a wronged and penniless ex-wife; and Johan, an unscrupulous Stockholm ad-man whose company specializes in revenge services. 

As Agneta and Kevin seek revenge against the gallery owner who has wronged them, this madcap, funny and philosophical novel takes off on a madcap journey that spans five continents and whirls around a colorful cast of characters, including a goat called Molly and the Pope. 

As he's done in his previous novels, Jonas Jonasson acts as a travel guide through time, drops in a few lessons on colonialism and art history, and pokes fun at capitalism and the artworld, with plenty of laughs along the way.
