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.
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/吳情 北宋大文豪蘇軾愛怪石醜石,卻也常告誡自己,勿要以物廢道。毫無疑問,蘇學士不以玩物喪壯誌的精神意誌令人欽佩,玩物器件,瑣碎細小,過於執迷,確實紛擾。不過,筆者有疑,東坡先生的“玩物喪誌”觀,難道就不是一種對某一理念的執迷?其實,現實生活中,人...
評分那隻蒼白得驚人的有著《琥珀眼睛的兔子》,蹲在暗色做底的書的封麵上部,泛著瑩瑩的光,底下是書名,再底下是一行小字“一個猶太豪門的百年興衰”。這隻“兔子”是264隻根付的其中之一。“根付,日本江戶時代的一種微雕工藝品。傳統和服沒有口袋,便以根付穿綫固定小袋子...
評分這是一本在2016年就被我列入書單的書,直至今天纔讀完。2015年去瞭柏林的猶太人紀念館,逛瞭整整一天之後,對猶太人的曆史有瞭興趣。讀這本書,原本隻是想讀個故事,沒想到,卻給瞭我大大的驚喜。 這是一部尋根的書。曾經輝煌過的傢族,自微時起,乘勢而上,曆經四代人,再由盛...
評分生命總是短暫而脆弱的,唯有美與精神會長存。曆經幾個世紀的滄桑,傢族都已泯滅,唯有這264隻根付留存下來,流離輾轉,似乎是巧閤,又似乎是冥冥之中注定的安排,最後它們送到瞭埃德濛•德瓦爾的手中,這批經曆瞭繁華璀璨,也經曆瞭戰火洗禮的舶來收藏品,便是傢族留...
評分文/夏麗檸 “在埃米更衣室的玻璃櫥櫃裏,有把頭埋在半完工的木桶裏的箍桶匠,有黑色栗木雕刻的滿身大汗糾纏在一起的街頭摔跤者,有反穿袍子的喝醉酒的和尚,擦地闆的女傭人,打開簍子的捕鼠人。把它們拿起來放在手裏,能感受到這些根付體現的古 代江戶風格”。英國陶瓷藝術傢...

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。
