How many are these treasures still lying at the bottom of the sea? What did the Aztec codex burned by the Spanish priests tell us? Where are these stolen paintings, esti- mated at hundreds of millions of dollars? What secrets of biodiversity will the Amazon take away when we will have completely consumed it? Fortunately, not everything is lost. Certain jewels, which we thought were forgotten forever, miraculously reappear, such as the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, lost for two centuries in a library because of a simple error of quotation… Illustrated with beautiful photos but also with paintings, maps, plans and archive images, this beautiful book follows the traces of nearly 80 treasures lost over the centuries.
