Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. è la prima volta che, dopo decenni di letture, un po' mi delude. Per essere un libro degli anni '70 mostra una capacità di preveggenza straordinaria del mondo che verrà (le astuzie dei malfattori in colletto bianco). Ma la trama è un po' contorta. Al solito, i dialoghi, e l'ironia sono sono il punto di forza del racconto. E l'ambiguità del protagonista - chissà se stupido pasticcione o astuto truffatore - è cio che, al solito, amo di Ambler perchè lascia al lettore l'onere del giudizio nello stesso momento in cui gli segnala che un simile dubbio riguarda tutti noi 'reali' protagonisti delle nostre esistenze. Oh, attenzione! Non è un romanzo di introspezione psicologica: è solo un libro 'giallo' per l'estate aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Professor Krom believes Paul Firman, alias Oberholzer, is one of those criminals who keep a low profile and are just too clever to get caught. Firman, rich and somewhat shady, agrees to be interviewed in his villa on the French Riviera. But events take an unexpected turn and perhaps there is even someone else artfully hiding in the deep background? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Ostensibly the story of a so-called "Able Criminal," someone an obsessed Dutch criminology professor, Frits Krom, believes is among a shadowy elite of criminals who justice and the police are unable to apprehend, Siege of the Villa Lipp is more than that. It is the discovery of the price someone pays not only for "success" but for the realization that in the modern world success revealed to the public and the self leads to psychosis.
Essentially, the author of the study of the Able Criminal, despite his nagging ways and intrusive manner, is right about Firmin. Firmin is a liar. Most of all to himself. Somewhere, he has lost his "self," his inner being. In its place is a jumble of disorganized memories that may or may not be true. The only thing making Firmin somewhat sympathetic is the cast of characters that surround him. True master criminals that make him look like a playful amateur. Academics who seek the satisfaction of their ego over knowledge and the science of their discipline. Colleagues capable of betrayal, directly and indirectly, meaning you cannot trust anyone. Except perhaps one of them. The one who is willing to follow him to the metaphorical ends of the Earth. ( )
