The Hare With Amber Eyes

by Edmund De Waal

  • 2011
  • PAPER
  • 368 PAGES

Edmund de Waal unfolds the story of his remarkable family, a grand banking family, as rich and respected as the Rothschilds, who "burned like a comet" in 19th Paris and Vienna society, and a tumultuous century in this absorbing, prize-winning tale. The renowned ceramicist Edmund de Waal became the fifth generation to inherit this small and exquisite collection of netsuke. Entranced by their beauty and mystery, he determined to trace the story of his family through the story of the collection.  (FRN941, $16.00)
