Description
The Hare with Amber Eyes
Author: Edmund De Waal
Hard cover - as new condition. Special illustrated edition.
The Hare with Amber Eyes by Edmund de Waal is a memoir that traces the history of the author’s extended family, the Ephrussi, through the story of a collection of Japanese netsuke—small carved objects passed down through generations. Beginning with the family’s rise as wealthy Jewish bankers and patrons of the arts in nineteenth-century Paris and Vienna, de Waal follows the netsuke as they survive the upheavals of the twentieth century, including Nazi expropriation and exile. Blending family history, cultural reflection, and personal journey, the book explores themes of memory, displacement, loss, and survival, showing how objects can carry the imprint of human lives across time. Both intimate and historical, it is a meditation on inheritance and the fragile continuity of family and culture.
