Adrian must steward a duel between his own sense of integrity and his desire to see no harm befall Lorena.

Although a couple of the review quotes on the cover depict this as a suspense novel, that's not at all where it's at. Instead it's a deliciously whimsical tale of love and redemption, of an almost childlike honesty confronting corruption and, through ingenuity, coming out on top.

To be sure, it's a fable: I don't think we're ever supposed to believe that someone like Adrian could exist, however much we might want him to.

Meanwhile, even though Lorena is by any definition you care to choose A Bad Girl, she's so affectionately depicted that it's hard not to become fond of her.

Both novels seem to hover over the third answer as representing the truth of the matter, that without the international art market we'd be as happy to have a Picasso copy as a Picasso original hanging on our wall.

I'm not sure I know where my thoughts lie on this! The text dances along frothily translator Steph Morris clearly deserves a share of the credit that this is so and is quite often funny enough that it made me laugh aloud -- as on the various occasions when Adrian tries to demonstrate to Frau Hauser that he's perfectly competent to manage his household without her.

There's a muscularity about the prose, too, and a serious intent underlying the fabulation. Suspenseful the novel ain't, as noted, but I resented having to put it down when other aspects of life intruded and picked it up eagerly again as soon as I could.

And I grinned at the way Suter so skillfully pulled everything together at the end to present an emotionally perfect finale.

A delightful piece of work. As we become more intimate with Adrian we learn he is quite street smart, savvy and a keen observer, extremely aware of both self as well as surroundings including peers.

His stealth side really kicks in when he becomes involved with the dicey Lorena. Lorena a blatant user borderline grifter, however she displays a conscious, which is questionable in its intent.

When these two first meet you wonder if they will ultimately compliment each other, but we quickly discover differently.

Slowly the tables turn and Adrian becomes the puppet master. Adrian is memorable without a doubt. Suter entertains the reader through his details and characters.

He strings the peruser along creating a build up, including a few twist and turns until the curtain reveals the apex towards the end providing a more than satisfying reading adventure.

Excellent glimpse into the captivating art world. View 2 comments. I received an advanced review copy of this title from New Vessel Press through Edelweiss.

The central figure of the book, Adrian Weynfeldt, is just what the title suggests: he is the last of his family and he is not married and has no children.

Fifty-year-old Adrian lives alone on the top floor of one of his opulent buildings. His massive apartment is filled with costly art work and antique furniture.

The descriptions of various artwork and the process of art auctions is a fascinating aspect of the book that captivated my attention. Adrian is mannered to a fault.

Every Thursday is lunch with his younger friends and Adrian always excuses himself towards the end of the meal and quietly pays the very expensive bill.

Adrian is kind, polite and unassuming and it as very sad to see his so-called friends take advantage of his good nature.

This book is one of those page turners that grabs you right from the first scene. He realizes that she is rather intoxicated, so in true Adrian fashion, he feels it would be wrong to sleep with her.

In the middle of the night, Adrian wakes up to find this woman, whose name he figures out is Lorena, standing on his balustrade and ready to jump to her death.

It turns out that Lorena has tried to barely squeak out a living by modeling for small companies and catalogues. She has had a tough life and her latest relationship ended disastrously when she found out her boyfriend had a wife and three children.

Lorena teams up with a small-time con artist named Pedroni and together they decide to try and swindle Adrian out of some of his money.

But Lorena seems to have fallen for Adrian, more so than she is willing to admit to herself, and we are left wondering if she can really cheat him after all.

The circumstances surrounding the forged art, the sexual tension between Adrian and Lorena and the fascinating character of Adrian himself kept me wondering what was going to happen and wanting more.

There are just so many interesting aspects to this story-from the strong characters to the intricate descriptions of art to a mystery of an art fraud.

I'm giving this one three stars, although I wouldn't quibble with another reader who might give it four. Adrian was a likable enough main character, but I never felt I was invested in him, as they say.

To be honest, the secondary characters held my attention more than the plot itself. Strongest part of the book as far as I was concerned was the Zurich setting, a place I've never been.

Glad I read it, and would encourage my Goodreads friends to give it a try if they think it sounds interesting. He has inherited a superb apartment which has been in his family for many years, with top of the range facilities, views and everything one would expect in a luxury apartment, with full access to wealth and opportunity.

He is in his mid 50s, very much a traditional man, signet ring on his finger, a Kennedy hairstyle, tailored suits, regular get togethers with his contemporaries and f 4.

He is, in other words, the perfect gentleman, Swiss-style. He is a trained art historian and now buys and sells works of art for an international auction house.

He is surrounded by antiques and works of art, and has built himself a great and reliable reputation.

He is based in the heart of Zurich, living out his regulated life amongst the rich. The income from the building in which he lives, let out to banks as it is, brings him in a fair fortune and security, let alone other income streams he has in place.

What kind of a story can the author possibly build around such a potentially unprepossessing main character?

Enter Lorena who is teetering off his wrought iron balcony balustrade with an unstable air about her as the book opens.

He only met her the night before, but this oftentimes unprincipled whirlwind will undoubtedly undermine his ordered existence. And at some levels he yearns to experience what it might be to feel really alive.

Could risk-taking be the answer to nudge him out of the stupor of regimented and luxurious daily life?

He has come to this state of being largely because of his up-bringing, safe, financially secure, yet he has suffered profound abandonment issues — his mother would often threaten to leave and never return, and his former wife died.

He has learned to button up his feelings, and express a degree of ambivalence about relationships so as not to get too deeply committed.

Symbolically he has lived with the bedroom, which his mother inhabited in the last years of her life, a tomb containing her things.

One day, almost on a whim he decides to convert the room to a gym. He is gradually learning to look after his own needs.

There is discourse in the book, too, about the value of art. What constitutes original artwork? Why is one painting deemed more valuable than another?

His friend needs the money to be able to retire to Lake Como and maintain a lavish lifestyle. Loyalty and principles come into conflict, Lorena playing her challenging part.

It is an addictive read, with a ponderous pace that perfectly reflects the life of this erstwhile careful man. A choice for lovers of European literature.

Adrian Weynfeldt is a very rich man who lives in a vast apartment in Zurich. He has no need to work, but enjoys his job as an appraiser of fine art.

A modern Maecenas, he also enjoys giving his money away to artists, who frankly do not appear to deserve it.

Personally stunted by his oppressive upbringing, damaged by a love affair in his youth which went disastrously wrong, he remains detached from others, but is increasingly seen as fair game for exploitation.

When he meets a young woman who rem Adrian Weynfeldt is a very rich man who lives in a vast apartment in Zurich.

When he meets a young woman who reminds him of his long lost love, she sees the opportunity to make a lot of money. Part of the pleasure of reading this novel, is to see how far Weynfeldt can be pushed, how far he can be deceived, how far he can be robbed.

He is middle-aged, alone, and will hand out money to anybody without question. He appears destined to be the last of his line.

A decent, gentle and unselfish man, how far will he be duped and betrayed? Or is the deceptively mild Weynfeldt more astute than others have judged him?

This is a clever, twisting story about art fraud, deception and human frailties. Often funny, sometimes bitter-sweet, it maintains a suspenseful storyline right to its close.

Entertaining, satirical thriller with sly comments on the value of art. I definitely want to read more by Suter.

Perfect for a rainy day in front of a fireplace. Adrian Waynfeldt is Bryan Ferry! As Suter meticulously described his, sorry, Weynfeldt's appearance — I envisioned Heino and knew: this is Suter, who wants to be Allmen in disguise of an art dealer.

I can't re Adrian Waynfeldt is Bryan Ferry! I can't recall his name right now, and I will tell more about how I felt and what I was thinking when I read the novel.

But first some concrete notes about the novel. There is Adrian Weynfeldt, an art expert by profession, childless and about 55, affluent so much that we either hate him or wish we were at his place, well brought-up and giving away that he is unrealistic — he lives in a old, fancy architectural gem building which is occupied by a bank what an irony except for huge apartment with I didn't count how many rooms all of which have names after colour or expensive antiquities Weynfeldt either inherited or acquired after his finest taste and education.

His house assistants is woman older than him — which means she is 80 or something, and he inherited everything from rich parents. He has two circles of friends, one older than him his late fathers' friends or his offsprings and one younger than him where he plays a role of an uniterested maecenas for struggling younger men with artistic aspirations.

There is a forged painting. There is an easy girl Lorena ready for everything, and who reminds Weynfeldt of his ex-wife Daphne.

And there is a betrayal between old friends. And now I should stop, since this is a thriller, and anything more about the plot would be spoiler.

Now you should go on abebooks. I like the way Suter enjoys being Weiynfeldt. I discovered - I am now turning back to above mentioned French literary critic whose name escapes me Heino Ferch was looking as an impersonator of Bryan Ferry and opening credit for the TV movie made me think it was a germanized version of Sherlock Holmes.

Naive and trashy, as old Saint-episodes with Roger Moore, or old comics about private detective Rip Kirby When I saw a photo of Martin Suter, I figured it out Allmen is Holmes in any possible way with addition that he is ladies man.

He smokes! He helps people as Saint does. The Last Weynfeldt is one of those wonderful books that are just a pleasure to read.

I'm never sure how much is lost in translation, this book was written in German originally, but I think the essence of the story works in any language and culture.

The title refers to the main character, Adrian Weyndfelt, who is the last in the line of his distinguished family. Adrian is an art expert, collecting art and working for an auction house valuing and writing details in the catalogues for auctions.

H The Last Weynfeldt is one of those wonderful books that are just a pleasure to read. He still lives in the apartment he was brought up in, the housekeeper is the same one who worked for his parents and he is still friends with many of his parents friends; he is a creature of habit.

He also has a set of younger friends, all artistic in character but apart from that they have nothing in common; they just seem to use him as an investment bank for their projects.

He also isn't lucky in love, he hasn't had relationship in years until, one evening he meets Lorena, the image of his previous girlfriend, and the harbinger of trouble for Adrian.

There is a sense of detachment about his character, he always seems removed from situations, shows little emotion, which could relate to his abandonment issues from childhood where his mother use to threaten to leave him if he didn't behave and then his girlfriend walked out on him and never came back.

I will admit that it took me longer than it should have to read this book as I kept on stopping to look up some of the works mentioned modern art has never been my forte , and I have included an image of the original cover of the book which shows the art work at the centre of the plot.

We follow Weynfeldt as he has to decide what to do, and how his friendships may influence his decision. This opens up an interesting dialogue about the authenticity of art, and how some reproductions can be better than the original but not as valuable due to ownership and who painted it.

The pace is fairly consistent throughout and it kept my interest and attention until the end. There are brilliant characters, all very quirky, a mixture of ages and backgrounds that show different sides of Weyndfelt.

There was even a funny 'Pretty Woman' moment with Lorena in an expensive boutique that brought a smile to my face. The attention to detail of setting was beautiful, almost like a painting itself.

I had an empathy for Adrian, he is a generous character but others take advantage of his money and his kindness; he was not only the last Weyndfelt but probably the last of a generation where manners and appearance were important.

The art forgery mystery kept me gripped and guessing until the end, as did the relationship with Lorena. This is an intelligent and thought provoking novel about art, the human condition and secrets and lies; a superb read.

It's about a posh old-fashioned Zurich chap Adrian who is rich enough to have a pack of friends who hang-on for seemingly little more than the financial advantage of doing so, and who works in the art business because it occupies his time rather than because he needs the cash.

The so-called friends treat him carelessly, and continually tap him up for cash that he gladly gives, often as face-saving loans or with conditions attached for the sake of it, rather than with any hope of ever seeing the brass again.

He meets Lorena, who, according to the blurb on the back cover, "upends his buttoned-up life". This doesn't quite capture it. Lorena turns his head, and is part of yet another nasty little attempt to free him of his wealth, but it hardly upends anything.

Adrian is too stable a chap to be going around getting all upended, not even by a lovely redheaded woman with pale skin a situation that would upend the crap out of my life.

Now and again the book picks up pace, the intrigue grows and it gets a bit exciting, then it stops and jumps across to another, less interesting, storyline.

It continues like this, one bit edging forward then other bits getting in its way and slowing it down. It was like this all the way through, every time it got to its feet and started to soar, it got in its own way and brought it back down to earth.

It was like being forced to read a boring bit as penance for reading a good bit, like a kid being forced to finish their greens before being allowed a bowl of ice-cream.

The ending was quite obvious by the time we got there, and that's not like me. I'm no good at working out who did the deed or what's going to happen, and although I guessed this one pretty early on, I did worry that it was going to let me down and deliver something less satisfying.

It didn't. The ending is good, it tidies it up quite nicely. This is a fantastic book filled with art, manipulation, lost love, misplaced life, and a boatload of money.

Our main character, Weynfeldt, although perfectly polite, seems to be completely detached from living. He slowly comes to this realization as a brazen woman comes into his life like a ghost from his past.

He starts to question who his real friends are, if performing the same routine everyday is actually living, and what genuine art is.

I did get quite upset with him, yelling at the book, s This is a fantastic book filled with art, manipulation, lost love, misplaced life, and a boatload of money.

This is a comfy read, easy to sail through with a plot to keep you going and flawed characters to keep you guessing. Art expert Adrian Weynfeldt lives a regular, well-off life in Zurich.

He has a schedule of work, dinners with friends that fill his life. Baier asks him for an impossible favor: Weynfeldt is to release a forgery of the painting "Le Salamandre" by Felix Vallotton for auction.

But what does Lorena have to do with it? And is Weynfeldt, who has hitherto had nothing to do with the counterfeiters and blackmailers, resist the temptation?

So I watched this movie because I'm at my grandma's with no access to our beloved world wide web except mobile, which is limited of course , but that's no excuse during February Film Challenge.

So I checked out this evenings TV program and yeah, there was literally only this movie. And since I am apparently writing the first ever review for this, I'll try and cover some things.

Der letzte Weynfeldt , a swiss-german co-production after the novel by Martin Suter, tells the intruiging story of a german art auctioneer who meets a two-faced woman who changes his life.

You can't really tell much more without going into spoilers, but the story itself isn't too complicated or twisting to be honest.

Edit Cast Credited cast: Stefan Kurt Adrian Weynfeldt Marie Bäumer Lorena Steiner Rest of cast listed alphabetically: Maria Boettner Its owner, a friend of Weynfeldt, is getting decrepit and needs cash to move into a retirement apartment on Lake Como.

He decides the painting must be sold, but he can't bear to part with it, so he has another friend of theirs forge a copy.

He gives the copy to Weynfeldt to sell at auction Weynfeldt is an expert at an art auction house. Will Weynfeldt sell the copy, or the original?

This is the crux of the novel. Along the way Lorena has a fling with a fellow grifter who sells designer clothes at the boutique where she was caught shoplifting, and they conspire to squeeze even more cash out of the seemingly hapless Weynfeldt.

Despite the emphasis on the Vallotton painting, of which there is much, the novel never really feels "set" in the art world.

Weynfeldt goes to the office every day and has brief conversations with his assistant about the auction catalog, but there is only one unexciting scene that takes place at an auction.

The most drama in the book is when Lorena stuffs a silk Prada dress in her tiny purse and is then stopped by the store's proprietress upon leaving.

Mention must be made of the eccentricities in translation. The plural of "still life" is "still lifes," not "still lives.

A top is awkwardly described as "low-cut, belly-free" - midriff-baring is surely what is meant. Then there's that favorite trendy error of everyone everywhere now, free reign instead of free rein.

It's a horse metaphor, people. Not a royalty metaphor. In Zurich Adrian Weynfeldt lives a largely solitary life.

Possessed of enormous inherited wealth and paid healthily for his work as an art appraiser for a major auction house, he has acquaintances rather than friends, and almost all of those acquaintances are essentially spongers, tolerating his presence because of the ungrumbling way he subsidizes their activities.

Into his life stumbles Lorena, a petty thief and occasional model who happens strongly to resemble Adrian's long-lost love, Daphne.

When Lorena realizes how ripe a fruit Adrian is for the plucking, she conspires with her criminal boyfriend Pedroni to rip him off for as much as they possibly can.

Adrian must steward a duel between his own sense of integrity and his desire to see no harm befall Lorena.

Although a couple of the review quotes on the cover depict this as a suspense novel, that's not at all where it's at. Instead it's a deliciously whimsical tale of love and redemption, of an almost childlike honesty confronting corruption and, through ingenuity, coming out on top.

To be sure, it's a fable: I don't think we're ever supposed to believe that someone like Adrian could exist, however much we might want him to.

Meanwhile, even though Lorena is by any definition you care to choose A Bad Girl, she's so affectionately depicted that it's hard not to become fond of her.
