About the Book

For decades, Chimen Abramsky and his wife, Miriam, organized epic encounters in their fascinating house full of books, and brought together many of the great intellectuals of the time. His grandson, the journalist Sasha Abramsky, recreates the lost world, giving life to the people, books and ideas that filled his grandparents' house, combining four types of history (family, politics, Jewish and literary) in a magnificent and absorbing text. From your erudite and delicate hands, any reader will be grateful to have the opportunity to tour this house.

Durante décadas, Chimen Abramsky y su esposa, Miriam, organizaron encuentros épicos en su fascinante casa llena de libros, y reunieron a muchos de los grandes intelectuales de la época, de Eric Hobsbawm a Isaiah Berlin. Hijo ateo de uno de los rabinos más importantes del siglo, Chimen nació en 1916 cerca de Minsk y pasó sus primeros años de adolescencia en Moscú; luego emigró a Londres, donde descubrió los escritos de Karl Marx. Asistió brevemente a la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén, hasta que la Segunda Guerra Mundial interrumpió sus estudios. De regreso en Inglaterra, se casó, y durante muchos años él y Miriam se ocuparon de una respetada librería judía en el East End de Londres. Cuando los nazis invadieron Rusia en junio de 1941, Chimen se unió al Partido Comunista, convirtiéndose en una figura destacada del Comité Nacional judío. Fue miembro del mismo hasta 1958, cuando, sorprendentemente, un día por fin reconoció los crímenes cometidos por Stalin. En la madurez, Chimen se reinventó a sí mismo una vez más, en esta ocasión como pensador liberal, humanista, profesor universitario y experto en manuscritos de la casa de subastas Sotheby's. Su nieto, el periodista Sasha Abramsky, recrea en estas fascinantes páginas un mundo perdido, dando vida a la gente, a los libros y a las ideas que llenaban la casa de sus abuelos, combinando cuatro tipos de historia (la familiar, la política, la judía y la literaria) en un magnífico y absorbente texto. De su erudita y delicada mano, cualquier lector estará agradecido de tener la oportunidad de recorrer esta casa.
