Sono emozioni che il libro intende fare riemergere nella loro verità psicologica e umana, e nell'importanza che esse hanno per la conoscenza di sé e per lo svolgimento di relazioni interpersonali dotate di senso.

Treize années durant, chaque jeudi après-midi, l'Académie française m'a offert le privilège d'avoir comme voisin le Prix Nobel de médecine, François Jacob. Comme deux potaches, nous bavardions. Mon ignorance abyssale en biologie l'accablait. C'est lui qui m'a donné l'idée de ce livre : "Puisque, par on ne sait quel désolant hasard, tu occupes le fauteuil de Pasteur, plonge-toi dans son existence, tu seras bien obligé d'apprendre un peu !

This book explores the untold history of women, art and crime. It has long been widely accepted that women have not played an active role in the art crime world, or if they have, it has been the part of the victim or peacemaker.
