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/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...

评分很多时候,人会因困惑“自己为什么而活”而陷入失落。的确,人活一世,从生到死,无论悲欢聚散,似无可依凭,亦无可恋。似乎人无论怎样挣扎,即便是藉由奋斗赢得名就功成、一世荣华,自己的生活终究也总逃不脱无意义的藩篱——所宠爱之物倒却长久安然。 《琥珀眼睛的兔子》...

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.
