Some Of Them, The Story Of A Russian, Jewish Family And Its Worldwide Peregrinations In Times Of War And Revolution

Jan Van Rij

L'Harmattan

Prix public : 20,50 €

Leaving behind an impoverished and threatened existence in 19th century anti-semitic tsarist Russia, a Jewish family make a new life and a fortune in Japan and China, in a region dominated by the struggle between the great powers, as chandlers and trusted partners of the Imperial Russian Navy prior to and during the Russo-Japanese war of 1904. Upon their return to Russia they become honoured citizens of Saint Petersburg until Bolshevism drives them out again to new uncertainties in the West.
