Reads Sponsors Video FAQs FAQs Summer Reading Calendar Calendar Our 2025 Summer Community Read Art Thief The story of Stéphane Breitwieser reads almost like fiction, yet it’s chillingly real — a true-crime narrative that explores not just the how of his astonishing string of thefts, but the why. Breitwieser’s obsession with beauty and his compulsion to possess it purely for private admiration, rather than profit, sets him apart from typical art thieves and makes his story uniquely unsettling and fascinating. Finkel’s writing is often immersive and psychologically probing, so if you're interested in the intersection of obsession, artistry, and criminality, this book offers a rare glimpse into the mind of someone who blurred the lines between admiration and appropriation in a truly extraordinary way.
