Nose Missing

The Elgin Affair: The Abduction of Antiquity's Greatest Treasures and the Passions It Aroused

I found this book a very light review of Elgin, the marbles and the politics of the time. It was full of lengthy quotes and letters detailing with minutiae rather than hard facts. Elgin became a bankrupt, lost most of his nose and lost his wife to Robert Fergusson.
