AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

「Tout est Possible」(Everything is Possible)は、歴史上でも最も驚くべき詐欺の一つの物語を伝える。1925年、オーストリア=ハンガリー帝国出身の職業詐欺師ヴィクター・ラスティグ(1890–1947)は、米国からパリへ到着し、新聞をめくっているときにひらめきを得た。ある記事が、エッフェル塔の老朽化と市政会議の維持費の高さを論じ、最後は皮肉めいた質問で締めくくられていた——「エッフェル塔を売らなければならないのか?」

ラスティグは躊躇しなかった。その一文が、20世紀最大級の大胆な詐欺の一つとなる計画を形作った。エッフェル塔を売るには……そして、それを誰かに買わせるよう説得するには。

この物語に魅了されたマイテ・カラメスは調査を始め、ラスティグの足跡をたどってパリをさまよう。アーカイブや場所、記憶の断片の中から、彼女は彼の物語と1920年代のパリを再構成する写真シリーズを、ほとんど偶然のように生み出した——街の霧へと消えかけた塔を見つめながら。

ラスティグの偉業から百年後、カラメスは、世界で最も撮影されてきたモニュメントがかつては消えかけていたことを知る——そして、見ることも、写真に撮ることも、再発見することも不可能な物は一つとしてない、ということを。

本書は、現実と想像の微妙な間隔の中で、フィルム・ノワールと探偵小説の要素を融合させており、ラスティグ自身が第一人称であの栄光の日々の記憶を語り直す。

Seller's Story

Dartbooks is a specialized photography bookshop based in Barcelona, dedicated to photobooks, rare and out-of-print editions, and historically significant publications. With a strong focus on Japanese photography, Dartbooks was founded to provide continuity to a field that requires depth, expertise, and careful curation. The bookshop was established after the closure of Kowasa, a landmark reference for photography books in Spain. Its disappearance left a clear gap for photographers, collectors, and institutions in need of a space with a serious and knowledgeable approach to the photobook. Dartbooks emerged in response to that need, not as a replacement, but as part of the natural evolution of a cultural ecosystem. Dartbooks operates with a curatorial mindset, shaped by long-term engagement with photography and book collecting. The project functions as a book hunting platform for collectors, professionals, and libraries worldwide, and also provides advisory support to other bookshops seeking to develop coherent and specialized photography collections. The catalogue includes new publications, rare and out-of-print titles, monographs, retrospectives, self-published works, signed copies, and editions produced directly by photographers through their own imprints. The selection reflects a sustained commitment to photography as a form of visual narration, where images construct meaning beyond text. Although rooted in the Gràcia neighbourhood of Barcelona, Dartbooks serves an international audience. Its community includes collectors, professionals, and institutions from France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and beyond, both through the physical space and the online platform. Dartbooks understands the photobook not merely as an object of consumption, but as a cultural artifact that documents artistic practices, historical contexts, and personal visions. The bookshop functions simultaneously as a place of discovery, an archive in constant growth, and a point of connection between photographers, publishers, and readers.
