{"product_id":"letters-to-camondo-1","title":"Letters to Camondo","description":"A tragic family history told in a collection of imaginary letters to a famed collector, Moïse de Camondo.\n\n63 rue de Monceau, Paris\nDear friend,\nAs you may have guessed by now, I am not in your house by accident. I know your street rather well.\n\nCount Moïse de Camondo lived a few doors away from Edmund de Waal’s forebears, the Ephrussi, first encountered in his bestselling memoir, The Hare with Amber Eyes. Like the Ephrussi, the Camondos were part of belle epoque high society. They were also targets of antisemitism.\n\nCamondo created a spectacular house and filled it with the greatest private collection of French eighteenth-century art for his son, Nissim, to inherit. But when Nissim was killed in the First World War, it became a memorial and, upon the Count’s death, was bequeathed to France.\n\nThe Musée Nissim de Camondo has remained unchanged since 1936. De Waal explores the lavish rooms and detailed archives and uncovers new layers to the family story. In a series of haunting letters addressed to the Count, he tells us what happened next.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250851068\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1250851068.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:de Waal, Edmund\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
