A gripping account of a little-known figure responsible for a major archaeological discovery of the long-missing piece of an ancient sculpture in the Vatican Museums-a fabled work that astounded Michelangelo and other leading figures of the Renaissance.Pollak's Arm proves a literary thriller like no other, with special appeal for anyone who loves Rome and the world of antiquity. It sheds light on one of the greatest artistic masterpieces of all time, as well as providing insights into art collecting, art dealing and the fascinating life story of a scholar tragically deported to Auschwitz after he declined the Vatican's offer of refuge from Nazi persecution.
