The Global Merchants: The Enterprise and Extravagance of the Sassoon Dynasty

Centered around the story of the Sassoons, a Jewish family in Ottoman Baghdad that spanned two continents, this book is not only a family story but also a story of global trade and global capitalism. Although different members of the Sassoon family appear as actors in this story that spans from the beginning of the 19th century to the second half of the 20th century, we also witness major events such as the Industrial Revolution, the American Civil War, the World Wars, Indian Independence, and the Chinese Revolution through these actors. The Sassoons, who dominated the cotton and opium trade in the 19th century, were not the only ones of their kind. However, what distinguished them from their contemporaries and peers was that they served as a bridge between East and West, with family members and companies spanning Shanghai, Bombay, and London.

You are a soldier after all. It’s your job to protect and fight and die for your kingdom.

It’s not like the alternative is any better.

Maybe if I make enough of these, I can manifest an actual story.

Craiglockhart

Brian Johnstone

Maybe they’re here somewhere, lost in these crowds of students, informal in their tweeds, plus fours –

Sassoon, the elder, Sunday golfer; Owen, bookish, gangly, pale – mingling with the queue for the refectory,

snatching nervously at fags, ignoring notices forbidding all those here to smoke. You catch a glimpse

you think, later, in the distance – backs straight, military haircuts – turning down a corridor you glance along

but they’re not there. No, no-one is, though low light slants through window frames, plants these crosses on the wall.

Ladies who bounce back

"Ladies who bounce back", a review of Serena Steinhauer's play 'The Undone', at Theatre on the Square in Sandton, until 8 July.

ON blind dates and finding yourself: Serena Steinhauer is ‘Naomi’ in ‘The Undone’ at Theatre on the Square. Photograph by Philip Kuhn. THE VETERAN BRITISH actress Miriam Margolyes describes the idea of doing a one-woman show as “lonely and frightening”, in her autobiography, This Much is True. When you see Serena Steinhauer emerge on stage in a flurry of words and wrap herself in the identity of…

Thrushes - Siegfried Sassoon Tossed on the glittering air they soar and skim, Whose voices make the emptiness of light A windy palace. Quavering from the brim Of dawn, and bold with song at edge of night, They clutch their leafy pinnacles and sing Scornful of man, and from his toils aloof Whose heart's a haunted woodland whispering; Whose thoughts return on tempest-baffled wing; Who hears the cry of God in everything, And storms the gate of nothingness for proof.
