Descripción del artículo del vendedor

351 pages. Corners bumped/ cover edges slightly worn. Text lightly tanned.264 wood and ivory carvings none of them larger than a matchbox: potter Edmun d de Waal was entranced when he first encountered the collection in the Tokyo ap artment of his great uncle Iggie. Later, when Edmund inherited the ?netsuke? , they unlocked a story far larger than he could ever have imagined . . . The Ephrussis came from Odessa, and at one time were the largest grain exporters in the world; in the 1870s, Charles Ephrussi was part of a wealthy new generati on settling in Paris. Marcel Proust was briefly his secretary and used Charles a s the model for the aesthete Swann in Remembrance of Things Past. Charles?s pa ssion was collecting, and the netsuke, bought when Japanese objets were all the rage in the salons, were sent as a wedding present to his banker cousin in Vienn a.Later, three children ? including a young Ignace ? played with the collection as history reverberated around them. The Anschluss and Second World W ar swept the Ephrussis to the brink of oblivion. Almost all that remained of the ir vast empire was the netsuke collection, smuggled out of the huge Viennese pal ace (then occupied by Hitler?s theorist on the ?Jewish Question?), one pie ce at a time, in the pocket of a loyal maid ? and hidden in a straw mattress.In this stunningly original memoir, Edmund de Waal travels the world to st and in the great buildings his forebears once inhabited. He traces the network o f a remarkable family against the backdrop of a tumultuous century. And, in pros e as elegant and precise as the netsuke themselves, he tells the story of a uniq ue collection which passed from hand to hand ? and which, in a twist of fate, found its way home to Japan.…
