The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Family's Century of Art and Loss
In The Hare with Amber Eyes, Edmund de Waal unfolds the story of a remarkable family and a tumultuous century.
Sweeping yet intimate, The Hare with Amber Eyes is a highly original meditation on art, history, and family, as elegant and precise as the netsuke themselves.
“From a hard and vast archival mass of journals, memoirs, newspaper clippings and art-history books, Mr. de Waal has fashioned, stroke by minuscule stroke, a book as fresh with detail as if it had been written from life, and as full of beauty and whimsy as a netsuke from the hands of a master carver. Buy two copies of his book; keep one and give the other to your closest bookish friend.” -- The Economist
