The Cold Heart (1933)

Шустрый и нечистоплотный торговец антиквариатом Фелисьен Мезере случайно видит на широкой спине позирующего художнику пожилого человека необычную татуировку. Опытный глаз пройдохи сразу определяет руку мастера — и действительно, этот рисунок когда-то сделал майору Леграну великий Модильяни. Фелисьен незамедлительно предлагает Леграну продать кожу со спины за любые деньги, но тот с возмущением отвергает абсурдное предложение. Но обезумевший от жадности антиквар готов на все, лишь бы заполучить в свои руки бесценный шедевр и продать его втридорога. Легран в конце концов соглашается, но в обмен на небольшую услугу. Фелисьен не раздумывая соглашается, и они отправляются в необычное путешествие…

The National Library of France is the guardian of priceless treasures that tell our history, our illustrious thinkers, writers, scholars and artists. Telling the story of the exceptional treasures of the National Library of France is like opening a great history book rich in many twists and turns. Without the love of the kings of France for books and precious objects, this institution would never have seen the light of day. The story begins in the 14th century under the reign of a passionate writer, Charles V, who set up a library in his apartments in the Louvre. But it was not until the 17th century, and the reign of Louis XIV, a lover of the arts and letters, that the royal library took over its historic quarters in the rue Vivienne in Paris, which it still occupies.
