Book review: the veneciano-esposa of Nick Bantock

What I thought was a novel about a Victorian quest to complete a collection of magnificent sculptures of ancient India would be.

What I am really interested in the book was the title, since I was looking for something to break habitual reading I have my usual authors. This turned out to be a fusion of art and Indian myth and the search after being a ghost of the computer to complete the collection of lost, his beloved after an enforced separation of five hundred years met with.

This is my first time to read Nick Bantock and I find it very interesting, does not mention his approach to Indian art and myth. The story that is a curator of a Museum and used by a mysterious Mr. Conti as they to find the remaining four sculptures from his enormous collection focuses on Sara Wolfe.

Highlights of the book: issues, problems and characterization

(Warning: spoilers included)

There are three things about the Venetian woman, which find me very interesting. The book provides first introduce collages of Kunst-Werke and captivating sculptures, who believe the myth of the Indian. Here again the customs of their gods and the concept of reincarnation, as well as the journey of life are themselves.

Second, you get interesting characters to meet, tell their astonishment and accessories of sculptures all have their own story. This is where the acquisition of ancient treasures and works of art by individuals and surface collector, rather than return to their country or place of origin in the care of people with care for its conservation.

Recurring themes are passion, love, religion and life. These are seen in the growth of Sara, how she gives the first step in their freedom and which is capable of taking a firm grip on love. Niccolo Conti not everything in his power, his wife wishes, as well as his desire to be with her as much, too long to be merged to meet. Employers and employees have a deep reverence for life and the way that have exercised their powers to indigenous deities.

You can enjoy this book?

Seeing that the book is all about growth, the Indian myth and art, Nick Bantocks can be interesting book you know well to people who collect deities, Indies, sculptures and art. This makes reading a light, beautiful collages, photographs and paintings, and only 130 pages. Makes for a nice weekend read and gives a sense of what art collectors for complacency or working for employers, makes a mysterious.
