Inhaltsangabe
Some time in the 1970s: a Calcutta teacher and radical, Subhash Ganguli, on the run from Indian authorities, disappears in London. The body of a left-wing Latin American intellectual, Guillerimo Sanchez, is pulled out from the Seine.
Years later, post 9/11: Claude Chiragi, McGill scholar, and son of a Pakistani free-spirit and a Quebecoise, receives as present a painting signed "G. Sanchez." It is evident that the painting is one of a series and contains a subversive message about the rise and fall of empires: Two periods of rise, followed by two periods of decline. And it seems that some of the figures in the painting move - or is he imagining? Claude and his girlfriend Clara embark on an adventure across three continents, involving murder, kidnapping, a trek into ancestral roots, and a school for subversives in the jungle, and discover a world of political and intellectual conspiracies, all out to obscure the message of the paintings. But who was Guillermo Sanchez, and is he really dead?

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In the early 1970s a reclusive artist and philosopher disappears in Paris after completing a fantastic series of canvases that trace the rise and fall of empires. Eventually his bloated body is dragged from the Seine. The knowledge and insight die with him. Years later, Claude Chiragi, a graduate student in Montreal receives a mysterious painting and senses the relevance of the theory embedded in the artwork. His curiosity is instantly aroused, and he launches a global search for clues that will help him understand the message and unravel the mystery of the artist's fate. Embedded in the paintings are tell-tale historical clues, mysteriously coded, that predict imperial entropy in the future-from economic collapse and cultural decadence to a coup d'etat against civil society. Kidnappings, killings, undercover conspiracy and a trek into ancestral roots, lend to this novel its quality of intellectual mystery and gripping suspense.

Fourth Canvas is a gripping tale about the rise and fall of empires. Kidnappings, killings, undercover conspiracy and a trek back into the historical ancestral roots of one of the main characters, lend to a novel that spans many continents, several stimulating personalities, and a diverse range of nationalities. Claude loses his family and friends in the course of his adventure, but in the end he understands and embraces the message in the Fourth Canvas. Woven within the imagination of this hero's journey is a fabric of ideas, a latticework to stimulate the reader's political perspective.
