The biography of Theodore Lustig is a fascinating glimpse into the world of one of Melbourne's most highly respected property developers.
Born in 1917 in Vienna, Austria, Theodore Lustig grew up in a small Polish village in the years between the two world wars. He emigrated to Australia in 1956 and quickly made a name for himself in the construction business, becoming a central figure in the development of some of Melbourne's most interesting and celebrated buildings including the classic Grand Hyatt Hotel.
Richly evocative, slyly humorous and laced with anecdotes and relevant historical information, this is the chronicle of one man's life and travels in a turbulent and exciting time, from his childhood through a successful career.
