Book Synopsis

Bedoire (history of architecture, Royal U. of Fine Arts, Stockholm) takes architecture as one example of Jewishness as the font and energizer of European culture. He discusses the ghetto background, the house of Rothschild, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest, New York, Göteborg, and other topics. The illustrations are monochrome. Ett judiskt Europa was first published in 1998; the translation, presumable from the 2003 second edition, is by Roger Tanner. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
