Synopsis
The poetic memories of an Ottoman Jew
This is the sensitive and poetic autobiography of a distinguished and internationally famous antiques dealer, an unforgettable gentleman among those who made a living from art in the last century. From his education at the begining of the century as a scion of the Jewish bourgeoisie in cosmopolitan Constantinople (Istanbul), to his period in the Intelligence Service during the war in London and abroad, to his highly successful activity in Milan and London of one of the most admired antiques dealers in the world.
