Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo
Born in Germany between the two world wars, Blumenthal narrowly escaped the Nazi horror, when, in 1939, he and his family fled to Shanghai's chaotic Jewish ghetto, where they spent the entirety of the Second World War. From these fraught and humble beginnings, Blumenthal would emerge as a major leader in American business and politics. In the second half of the century, Blumenthal headed two major American corporations--Bendix and Burroughs (later Unisys); served as a United States trade ambassador in the State Department and the White House, advising John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson; and served under Jimmy Carter as the Secretary of the Treasury. After his retirement from business and politics, he began an entirely new chapter in his career, when he conceived and served as the director of Europe's largest Jewish museum--the Jewish Museum of Berlin--a position he still holds today. An essential autobiography by one of America's great political figures, From Exile to Washington is an engaging chronicle of the twentieth century's greatest upheavals, and a tribute to a lifetime of courage, leadership and decisiveness.Victor Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 – 22 May 1885) was a celebrated poet, novelist, and playwright in the literary world. He is regarded as one of France's most famous writers. He's also well-known for his publicly expressed political views and activities.
