Sinopsis

Condición del ejemplar: Good. Theo Decker is thirteen years old when he survives an explosion at a New York museum that kills his mother. In the chaos and smoke he takes with him a small, mysterious painting of a goldfinch, a masterpiece of the Dutch Golden Age, and it becomes both his last link to her and a secret that will shape the rest of his life. Taken in first by the wealthy family of a school friend on Park Avenue, then by his absent father in the empty suburbs of Las Vegas, Theo struggles to find his place in a world that seems to have no room for him. He finds unexpected refuge in a Greenwich Village antiques workshop and an enduring friendship with Boris, a reckless and charismatic outsider. As he grows into adulthood, the painting he has hidden pulls him into the underworld of art dealing and crime, from New York to Amsterdam. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, Donna Tartt’s long-awaited third novel is a sweeping coming-of-age story about loss, obsession, survival and the power of art to console us. Richly detailed, suspenseful and deeply moving, The Goldfinch is a modern classic and a triumph of storytelling.
