Description: Theodore Fink was an energetic and controversial public figure in Melbourne from the 1870s to the1940s.Born into a struggling Jewish family, Fink was a solicitor by profession: and a bon vivant and patron of the arts by inclination. He divided his energies between the law, business, newspapers and education. He did not achieve high office, but the reach of his activity and engagement was extraordinary. Thus Don Garden concludes that Fink's chief talent was for ubiquity. He was a liberal humanist one minute and a scheming opportunist the next. In this engaging biography, Don Garden skilfully maps the many contradictions of an intriguingly complex life. As shown hardcover first edition (1998). We are Australia based and ship immediately.
