According to legend, the horn of the unicorn could counteract
poison and purify water. Lehmann Bernheimer used to say this
aphorism about the object which for centuries had been collected
and treasured as the horn of the mythical unicorn.In 1954, when
Konrad Bernheimer is four years old, his grandfather brings him
back from Venezuela, where the family had fled from Nazi
persecution, to Munich. The Bernheimers had been renowned art
antique dealers in this city, and the time has come to start all
over again. In the grandfather's salon there is a narwhale tusk, a
family talisman, which has accompanied them through highs and lows
. . .In this vivid and fascinating narrative, Konrad Bernheimer
tells the history of his family, a German-Jewish dynasty of art
dealers, and gives insights into the exciting and unusual life of
an art dealer between Lucas Cranach and Peter Paul Rubens.
