Sassoon ben Salih (1750 - 1830) and his family were the chief treasurers to the pashas of Baghdad and Southern Iraq. His son David (1792 - 1864) fled from a new, unfriendly overlord, going first to the Gulf port of Bushehr in 1828 and then to Bombay, India. In 1832, with his large family. In Bombay, he grew the international business called David S. Sassoon, with the policy of staffing it with people, usually Jewish, brought from Baghdad. They staffed the offices of his business in India, Burma, Malay, and east Asia. In each branch, he maintained a rabbi. His wealth and generosity were renown. His business extended to China, later to England. His philanthropy was legendary, and included, across Asia, the building of schools, orphanages, hospitals and museums. On his death, tributes to him were made from across the continent, by Muslims, Christians, Parsees, Jews and Hindus. Oft times the Sassoon family is compared with their European born contemporaries, the Rothschilds. ; B&W Photographs; 1.3 x 9.2 x 6.3 Inches; xiii, 304 pages; Cover has some bumping, sunning; previous owner's name stamped on front end paper.

Kafka, Franz; Narrated by George Guidall The Metamorphosis And Other Stories: Audio Tape Unabridged 5 Cassettes
New York Recorded Books 1995 1402527918 New
New set, still sealed by publisher. Translated by Joachim Neugroschel into English. Five audio cassettes, unabridged, with a total play time of 8.75 hours. Titles in this collection are: Metamorphosis; Early Stories; Contemplation; The Judgement; The Stoker; In the Penal Colony; A Country Doctor. Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was one of the major fiction writers of the 20th century. He was born to a middle-class Jewish family in Prague, Austria-Hungary, presently the Czech Republic. His unique body of writing—much of which is incomplete and which was mainly published posthumously—is among the most influential in Western literature. His stories, such as The Metamorphosis (1915) , and novels, including The Trial (1925) and The Castle (1926) , concern troubled individuals in a nightmarishly impersonal and bureaucratic world. His stories have always been strongly thought provoking, tackling uncommon topics. ; Audio Tape; 4 x 6 x 2 1/2

Illustrated with dozens of marvelous color photos. Franz Kafka [1883-1924] was a leading literary figure in the early 20th century. Prague, the great medieval city, had for centuries been one of the great European centers of Jewish learning and culture. When Kafka was born in Prague it was a city of 300, 000 residents. "It can be said...that the most important single factor, which, in Kafka's time, affected the life of every Prague citizen was his place in the complicated, precarious coexistence of the city's three ethnic-religious components: the Czechs, the Germans and the Jews. For nobody....could stay aloof from that entanglement". This book is a collection of photos of the Prague that gave birth to, and housed, Kafka through most of his short life. Each photo is captioned with writings from Kafka. Three unused post cards of Prague are laid in the book. Oversized. ; Photographs; 8 1/2 x 11; 92 pages; Cover has very slight edgewear.

Foreword by Lord Patrick Beresford, Chef d'Equipe to the British Team, 1985-92. "If you are inclined, as I am, to rate an eventer at first sight by how pleased you are to find it waiting for you at second horses on a Quorn Friday or a Beaufort Saturday, then inevitably King William would come out very near the top. Not only has he got terrific scope and physique, but also what is sometimes called 'the look of eagles', that is to say an imperious eye which, rather than focusing on his near surroundings, seems to be searching for a pack of hounds in the distant horizon....That, anyway, is the impression he gave me on the first occasion that I can condsciously remember seeing him, namely at the 1991 Badminton trot-up...." King William [1983-2002] was one of the living legend Mary King's great horses. He competed in two Olympics, in which she has competed at every single one since 1992, medaling 2x, as well as being a top, international competitor, on a variety of horses, since 1984. Exhaustively photographed with mostly color pictures, showing all phases of preparation, and competition: dressage, cross counry jumping, arena jumping. Scarce and wonderful book. ; Photographs; 0.75 x 10.75 x 8 Inches; 127 pages; Cover has light bumping, scuffing/rubbing; blank bookplate on front endpaper. Missing first, b/w photograph, foreword, and title page; seems to be a binding error.
