La camera d'ambra (El salón de ámbar) è un romanzo del 1999 ed è il primo libro della scrittrice spagnola Matilde Asensi, che è stato best seller in Spagna.

Trama

La camera d'ambra, ricostruita in San Pietroburgo.

La protagonista del romanzo è Ana Galdeano, una rispettabile antiquaria spagnola, che narra in prima persona la storia.

Ana fa parte di un gruppo di ladri e falsari di opere d'arte autodefinitosi "Il gruppo degli scacchi".

Nel 1941, durante la seconda guerra mondiale, l'esercito tedesco saccheggiò gli antichi palazzi degli zar a San Pietroburgo e trafugò in Germania molte opere d'arte di inestimabile valore, che scomparvero misteriosamente negli ultimi giorni della guerra. Tra queste opere fu anche smontata ed asportata la camera d'ambra, costituita da oltre 50 m² di lastre di ambra del Baltico, che sparì insieme agli altri tesori. Dopo aver messo a segno un colpo in un castello sul lago di Costanza, il gruppo degli scacchi si rende conto di trovarsi sulle tracce della scomparsa "camera d'ambra", da molti definita una delle otto meraviglie del mondo. Capiscono però presto di non essere i soli a cercarla e da qui si sviluppa un'avventura ricca di colpi di scena, enigmi da risolvere, inganni e false rivelazioni.

Some opposition members of the Sejm formed a rainbow to protest the 2020 inauguration of President Andrzej Duda. Homosexuality has been legal in Poland since 1932.[1] However, homosexuality has been a taboo subject for most of Poland's history, and that and the lack of legal discrimination have often led to a lack of historical sources on the subject. Homophobia has been a common public attitude in Poland because of the influence of Catholic Church in Polish public life and the wides...
