SAVING MONA LISA: THE BATTLE TO PROTECT THE LOUVRE AND ITS TREASURES DURING WORLD WAR II

Book ID/图书代码： 12844018C00021

English Summary/英文概要： In August 1939, curators at the Louvre nestled the world’s most famous painting into a special red velvet-lined case and spirited her away to the Loire Valley. So began the biggest evacuation of art and antiquities in history. As the Germans neared Paris in 1940, the French raced to move the masterpieces still further south, then again and again during the war, crisscrossing the southwest of France. Throughout the German occupation, the museum staff fought to keep the priceless treasures out of the hands of Hitler and his henchmen, often risking their lives to protect the country’s artistic heritage.

Thus a story that features as a vignette in the George Clooney film The Monuments Men is given the full-length treatment it demands. The recipient of several independent publishing awards in the United States, and illustrated throughout with nearly 100 photographs, Saving Mona Lisa is a compelling true story of art and beauty, intrigue and ingenuity, and remarkable moral courage in the darkest of times.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1939年8月，卢浮宫的策展人把这幅世界上最著名的画放在一个特别的红色天鹅绒衬里的箱子里，带着她去了卢瓦尔河谷。于是开始了历史上最大规模的艺术品和文物撤离。当德国人在1940年逼近巴黎时，法国人开始带着这些杰作往更南边撤离，然后在战争期间，一次又一次地在法国西南部穿梭。在整个德国占领期间，博物馆的工作人员为了不让这些无价之宝落入希特勒及其党羽之手而战斗，他们常常冒着生命危险来保护国家的艺术遗产。

因此，在乔治•克鲁尼的电影《古迹卫士》中，一个故事被赋予了它所要求的完整长度。《拯救蒙娜丽莎》获得了美国多个独立出版奖，并用近100张照片进行了全面的说明，它是一部引人入胜的真实故事，讲述了艺术与美、阴谋与智慧，以及在最黑暗的时代里非凡的道德勇气。（YYW）
