Les Rothschild sont le symbole de la puissance et de la gloire. Aujourd’hui comme hier, ils fascinent par leur fortune, leurs fabuleuses collections d’art, leurs demeures fastueuses et leurs mariages people. Au commencement, il y a Mayer Amschel, le « premier des Rothschild », qui s’impose comme le banquier des princes et des empereurs. Installés à Londres, Paris, Vienne, Naples et Francfort, ses descendants vont encore plus loin, en gagnant la confiance des souverains et en finançant les industries naissantes, comme le chemin de fer. D’un bout à l’autre de l’Europe, les Rothschild se font construire de somptueuses résidences, notamment le château de Ferrières en France, où James de Rothschild reçoit Napoléon III. Intimement liés à la famille royale anglaise, les Rothschild de Londres adoptent tous les codes des aristocrates, parvenant même à se faire élire à la Chambre des lords… Amateurs d’art, les Rothschild réunissent quelques-unes des plus belles collections de toiles de maîtres, d’objets et de mobiliers d’exception. Philanthropes, ils fi nancent la construction d’hôpitaux, de maisons de retraite et d’écoles. Mais les épreuves ne leur sont pas épargnées. Chassés d’Autriche par Hitler, ils sont spoliés de leurs biens en 1940, nationalisés en France en 1981 avant de se déchirer autour de l’utilisation de leur nom. Plein d’anecdotes, ce livre raconte la saga de l’une des dynasties les plus prestigieuses de la finance européenne.
