JEWISH COUNTRY HOUSES (HB)

Through a series of striking case studies this revelatory book explores the world of Jewish country houses, their architecture and collections - and the lives of the extraordinary men and women who created, transformed and shaped them. From the playful historicism of the National Trust's Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire to the modernist masterpiece that is the Villa Tugendhat in the Czech city of Brno, all were beloved homes that bear witness to the remarkable achievements of newly emancipated Jews across Europe. Beautifully illustrated with historical images by the celebrated photographer Hélène Bine.
