具體描述
An Economist Book of the Year Costa Book Award Winner for Biography Galaxy National Book Award Winner (New Writer of the Year Award) Edmund de Waal is a world-famous ceramicist. Having spent thirty years making beautiful pots—which are then sold, collected, and handed on—he has a particular sense of the secret lives of objects. When he inherited a collection of 264 tiny Japanese wood and ivory carvings, called netsuke, he wanted to know who had touched and held them, and how the collection had managed to survive. And so begins this extraordinarily moving memoir and detective story as de Waal discovers both the story of the netsuke and of his family, the Ephrussis, over five generations. A nineteenth-century banking dynasty in Paris and Vienna, the Ephrussis were as rich and respected as the Rothchilds. Yet by the end of the World War II, when the netsuke were hidden from the Nazis in Vienna, this collection of very small carvings was all that remained of their vast empire.

文/夏丽柠 “在埃米更衣室的玻璃橱柜里，有把头埋在半完工的木桶里的箍桶匠，有黑色栗木雕刻的满身大汗纠缠在一起的街头摔跤者，有反穿袍子的喝醉酒的和尚，擦地板的女佣人，打开篓子的捕鼠人。把它们拿起来放在手里，能感受到这些根付体现的古 代江户风格”。英国陶瓷艺术家...

用戶評價
追隨根付的猶太傢族史，的確是藝術傢寫的書，把曆史和對物品的觸感融閤在一起寫，而不是單純地把根付作為寄托迴憶的物品。

评分The author's relationship with wealth is so complicated...intelligent, well-bred, but also a bit facile. Precisely the sort of book that would be liked by the Economist.
评分Magnifique
评分歐洲史被壓縮 苦難並不短促 隻是我們太容易忘記瞭
