Details

The House of Twenty Thousand Books A fascinating and warmhearted portrait of Chimen Abramsky--a captivating historian, bibliophile, and Jewish intellectual--who collected thousands of rare books and whose London home became a modern-day salon for hundreds of the world's leading thinkers. The House of Twenty Thousand Books is a poignant meditation on family and a reflection on a compelling moment in intellectual history. As Samuel Freedman writes, The House of Twenty Thousand Books combines "four kinds of history - familial, political, Jewish, and literary - into one brilliant and compelling book."
