Description

The Lives of Isaac SternNo single American could personify what Henry Luce called the American Century. But over his eighty one years, Isaac Stern came closer than most. Russian Jewish parents brought him to San Francisco at ten months; practice and talent got him to Carnegie Hall, critical acclaim, and the attention of the legendary impresario Sol Hurok at twenty five.

No single American could personify what Henry Luce called the American Century. But over his eighty-one years, Isaac Stern came closer than most. Russian-Jewish parents brought him to San Francisco at ten months; practice and talent got him to Carnegie Hall, critical acclaim, and the attention of the legendary impresario Sol Hurok at twenty-five.

As America came of age, so too did Stern. He would go on to make music on five continents, records in formats from 78 rpm to digital, and friends as different as Frank Sinatra and Sir Isaiah Berlin. An unofficial cultural ambassador for Cold War America, he toured the world from Tokyo to Tehran and Tbilisi. He also shaped public policy from New York and Washington to Jerusalem and Shanghai. His passion for developing young talents--including Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Yo-Yo Ma, and Midori--led him to loan instruments to needy players, broker gigs for Soviet migr s, and reply in person to inquiring fifth-graders.

As the first historian to mine his papers at the Library of Congress, David Schoenbaum traces Stern's sixty-year career from his formative years in San Francisco to concurrent careers as an activist, public citizen, chairman, and cultural leader in the Jewish community. Wide-ranging yet intimate, The Lives of Isaac Stern is a portrait of an artist and statesman who began as an American dreamer and left a lasting inheritance to his art, profession, and the world.

Cat liked it too much
Color: Gold
This clutch was very nice and classy-perfect for a gala I was attending. However I never got to use it because within 5 min of opening the package my cat ate the bottom corners off. So apparently he really liked it too. 5 stars for purse. 0 stars for cat.

Cute & comfortable
Size: 10.5, Color: Ande Brown
I bought these for a recent vacation because I wanted a pair of brown heeled sandals (my skin tone) that would coordinate with a lot of different outfits and be comfortable enough to walk in. These fit the bill. Iโ€™m happy with my purchase.
