This is a non-fiction documentary that can be read as a suspense novel. It is an annual non-fiction book with high reputation on Amazon and Goodreads. "Musicians performed a 'James Bond' rhapsody and stole exotic bird skins 'worth millions' from the Museum of Natural History." 150 Years ago, Wallace first saw a bird of paradise in the unknown primeval forest of the Aru Islands, and was deeply amazed by the strangeness and beauty of the species; 150 years later, a young musician encountered a specimen of a bird of paradise in a museum. He had never seen anything so beautiful. At this time, he knew he would find a way to return here... From naturalist Wallace's expedition to South America to the Malay Archipelago, to the fate of birds with beautiful feathers on earth, the author connects various seemingly unrelated clues - museum thefts, the development of the theory of evolution, endangered birds and the dark underground world of fly-tying enthusiasts. In a true crime adventure, he tells the story of the contradictory and complex relationship between man and nature, as well as the destructive instinct of mankind to possess the beauty of nature.
