Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
A Collector’s Odyssey presents a case of agency and moxie in the face of ruthless Nazi persecution and organized plunder. It reconstructs the untold story of wartime refugee Marie-Anne von/de Goldschmidt-Rothschild and ascertains the contents and trajectory of her art collection. Yet it is less about provenance, or transfers of ownership, than about one collector’s resistance to relinquishing ownership. Beginning with the collection’s inception in Berlin and spanning two World Wars, it traces artworks secretly relocated to Paris, haltingly transported to the U.S., exhibited there, repatriated, then quietly dispersed. Her in-laws’ respective cases of despoliation and exile further highlight what Jewish collectors faced in Nazi Germany. This book restores their stories to memory, countering the Reich's intended erasure.
- Reconstructs the untold story of the Jewish-born Baroness Marie-Anne von/de Goldschmidt-Rothschild, with a special focus on the fate of her art collection during the Nazi era
- Tells the saga of a German Jewish family, crushed by systematic persecution and dispossession in the 1930s-1940s
- Reveals the Nazi-era provenance of the (mostly) Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artworks in the collection of Marie-Anne von/de Goldschmidt-Rothschild
Die Autorinnen von A Collector’s Odyssey rekonstruieren die bisher unbekannte Geschichte der als Jüdin verfolgten Marie-Anne von/de Goldschmidt-Rothschild und erkunden Inhalt und Wege ihrer Kunstsammlung. Von den Anfängen der Sammlung in Berlin, über zwei Weltkriege hinweg, spürt die Publikation den Kunstwerken nach, welche die Sammlerin im Geheimen nach Paris brachte, dann in die USA transportierte und dort ausstellte, bis sie schließlich zurück nach Europa kamen. Fälle von Verfolgung, Zwangsverkauf und Exil, von denen ihre angeheiratete Familie in Frankfurt am Main betroffen war, beleuchten zudem, womit jüdische Sammler*innen in Nazi-Deutschland konfrontiert waren. Dieses Buch erinnert an ihre Geschichten und widersetzt sich damit der vom Dritten Reich beabsichtigten Auslöschung.
