The hare with amber eyes – Edmund De Waal

The hare with amber eyes. A hidden inheritance – Edmund De Waal.

Libro in inglese.

264 Japanese wood and ivory carvings, none of them bigger than a matchbox: Edmund de Waal was entranced when he first encountered the collection in his great uncle Iggie’s Tokyo apartment.
When he later inherited the “netsuke”, they unlocked a story far larger and more dramatic than he could ever have imagined.
Froma burgeoning empire in Odessa to fin de siècle Paris, from occupied Vienna to Tokyo, Edmund de Waal traces the netsuke’s journey through generations of his remarkable family against the backdrop of a tumultous century.
