For the history buff…
“Letters to Camondo” by Edmund de Waal takes readers into the life of the fabulously wealthy Camondos figured among Paris’s most prominent French Jews. The book, which came out last month, is a collection of imaginary letters from Edmund de Waal to Moise de Camondo, the banker and art collector who created a spectacular house in Paris, now the Musée Nissim de Camondo, and filled it with the greatest private collection of French eighteenth-century art.
“The book follows de Waal as he wanders from room to room in the museum, commenting on its treasures and offering quietly profound reflections on French Jewish history, the nature of collecting and the vicissitudes of memory,” Maurice Samuels wrote in a New York Times review. “At the end of the book, de Waal wrestles with his own ambivalence about serving as a guardian of the Jewish past.”
