SUMMARY:Verve Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Verve Afternoon Book Club\nKings of Shanghai by Jonathan Kaufman \nThe Sassoons and the Kadoories stood astride Chinese business and politics for more than 175 years\, profiting from the Opium Wars\, surviving Japanese occupation\, courting Chiang Kai-shek\, and nearly losing everything as the Communists swept into power. Jonathan Kaufman tells the remarkable history of how these families ignited an economic boom and opened China to the world\, but remained blind to the country’s deep inequality and to the political turmoil on their doorsteps.

SUMMARY:Verve Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Book: The Hare with the Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance by Edmund de Waal \n“Objects have always been . . . stolen\, retrieved and lost. It is how you tell their stories that matters.” \nThe Ephrussis were a grand banking family\, as rich and respected as the Rothschilds\, who “burned like a comet” in nineteenth-century Paris and Vienna society. Yet by the end of World War II\, almost the only thing remaining of their vast empire was a collection of 264 wood and ivory carvings\, none of them larger than a matchbox. \nThe renowned ceramicist Edmund de Waal became the fifth generation to inherit this small and exquisite collection. In this book\, he traces the story of his family through the story of the collection. What results is a highly original meditation on art\, history\, and family. \nFREE for members and non-members

SUMMARY:Tour of “The Sassoons” at the Jewish Museum
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a group outing to the Jewish Museum to see “The Sassoons\,” a sweeping exhibit about one of the grandest families of the 19th century\, often called the “Rothschilds of the East.” The exhibit is a panoramic survey of four generations of traders\, socialites\, soldiers\, and sybarites. Their lives and possessions map a century of forced migration\, colonial expansion\, and absorption into high society. \nYour day will begin with a private\, 1-hour tour of the exhibit before having ample time to explore the museum on your own. We will also have time for lunch (BYO or buy locally). \nYour ticket includes museum admission\, a private tour\, and comfortable transportation to and from the Shames JCC. Space is limited!
