Fascinating biography of an extraordinaary character. Schloken, an East European Jew by birth, flourished as a businessman and cultural entrepreneur in Germany, Palestine, Israel and the United States. His great marketing insight was that common people desired quality goods, so long as they were affordable. He eventually fled Nazi-threatened Germany to Palestine, where his greatest legacies were the establishment of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and Schoken Books.
