Edmund de Waal describes himself as a 'potter who writes'. His porcelain has been displayed in many museum collections around the world and he has recently made a huge installation for the dome of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Edmund was apprenticed as a potter, studied in Japan, and read English Literature at Cambridge University. 'The Hare with Amber Eyes', a journey through the history of a family in objects, is his most personal book.

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...
评分文/吴情 北宋大文豪苏轼爱怪石丑石,却也常告诫自己,勿要以物废道。毫无疑问,苏学士不以玩物丧壮志的精神意志令人钦佩,玩物器件,琐碎细小,过于执迷,确实纷扰。不过,笔者有疑,东坡先生的“玩物丧志”观,难道就不是一种对某一理念的执迷?其实,现实生活中,人...

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.
追随根付的犹太家族史,的确是艺术家写的书,把历史和对物品的触感融合在一起写,而不是单纯地把根付作为寄托回忆的物品。
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.
