Story
Count Moïse de Camondo lived a few doors away from Edmund de Waal's forebears, the Ephrussi, first encountered in his best-selling memoir The Hare with Amber Eyes. Like the Ephrussi, the Camondos were part of Belle Epoque high society. They were also targets of anti-Semitism. Camondo created a spectacular house and filled it with the greatest private collection of French 18th-century art for his son to inherit. But when Nissim was killed in the First World War, it became a memorial and, on the Count's death, was bequeathed to France.

Story
A handful of clay from a Chinese hillside carries a promise: that mixed with the right materials, it might survive the fire of the kiln and fuse into porcelain - translucent, luminous, white. Acclaimed writer and potter Edmund de Waal sets out on a quest - a journey that begins in the dusty city of Jingdezhen in China and travels on to Venice, Versailles, Dublin, Dresden, the Appalachian Mountains of South Carolina and the hills of Cornwall to tell the history of porcelain.

Story
Winner of the 2010 COSTA Biography Award. A total of 264 wood and ivory carvings, none of them larger than a matchbox: potter Edmund de Waal was entranced when he first encountered the collection in the Tokyo apartment of his Great Uncle Iggie. Later, when Edmund inherited the ‘netsuke’, they unlocked a story far larger than he could ever have imagined.…

Story
Forfatteren af denne bog, Edmund de Waal, er en internationalt anerkendt keramiker, der har sine værker udstillet over hele verden. En dag arver han fra en onkel en samling af 264 bittesmå, udskårne, japanske figurer af træ og elfenben - såkaldte netsuker - der har været i familiens eje siden 1870’erne. Arven og genstandene pirrer Edmund de Waals nysgerrighed, og han begiver sig ud på en rejse tilbage i den europæiske historie for at finde ud af, hvem der har rørt ved disse smukke, små skabninger, hvem der har elsket og beundret dem, og hvad de har været vidne til.

Story
Nach dem Tod seines Großonkels Iggie Ephrussi erbt Edmund de Waal eine Sammlung japanischer Miniaturschnitzereien - so genannte Netsuke. Auf der Suche nach ihrer Herkunft und jenen Menschen, die sie einst besaßen, begibt er sich auf die Reise nach Paris, Wien, Odessa und Tokio. Dabei lernt er die bewegende Geschichte seiner Vorfahren kennen und erzählt sie. Die Ephrussi gehören im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert zu den einflußreichsten und wohlhabendsten jüdischen Bankiersfamilien.

Story
Un'elegante vetrina nella casa londinese di Edmund de Waal contiene 264 sculture giapponesi di avorio, o legno, non più grandi di una scatola di fiammiferi, raffiguranti divinità, personaggi di ogni tipo, animali, piante. La vetrina è aperta, e i piccoli figli di de Waal possono estrarre i netsuke - così si chiamano i minuscoli oggetti - e giocarci. Come facevano, ha scoperto l'autore, i piccoli figli di Viktor e Emmy von Ephrussi, suoi bisnonni, nel boudoir della madre, in un fastoso palazzo viennese della Ringstrasse, un secolo fa.

Story
Más de doscientas figuritas de madera y marfil, ninguna de ellas mayor que una caja de cerillas, son el origen de este fascinante libro en el que Edmund de Waal describe el viaje que han hecho a lo largo de los años. Un viaje lleno de aventuras, de guerra, de amor y de pérdida, que resume, en la historia de una familia, la historia de Europa en los siglos XIX y XX.

Story
Invitado a exponer sus piezas de cerámica en el museo Nissim de Camondo, Edmund de Waal disfrutó del inesperado privilegio de adentrarse en uno de los palacetes más lujosos de París, antigua propiedad de una influyente familia sefardí. Construido por deseo del filántropo y coleccionista de arte Moïse de Camondo en 1912, el edificio acoge desde entonces una extraordinaria colección de arte francés del siglo xviii. Sin embargo, como ocurrió a los antepasados de De Waal, los Ephrussi, también los Camondo se convirtieron pronto en blanco del antisemitismo.
