Enthralling . . . [de Waal's] essayistic exploration of his family's past pointedly avoids any sentimentality . . . The Hare with Amber Eyes belongs on the same shelf with Vladimir Nabokov's Speak, Memory ., A family memoir written with a grace and modesty that almost belie the sweep of its contents: Proust, Rilke, Japanese art, the rue de Monceau, Vienna during the Second World War. The most enchanting history lesson imaginable., An extraordinary history...A wondrous book, as lustrous and exquisitely crafted as the netsuke at its heart., Remarkable . . . To be handed a story as durable and exquisitely crafted as this is a rare pleasure . . . Like the netsuke themselves, this book is impossible to put down. You have in your hands a masterpiece., A beautiful and unusual book . . . [A] unique memoir of [de Waal's] family . . . De Waal has a mystical ability to so inhabit the long-gone moment as to seem to suspend inexorable history, personal and impersonal . . . A work that succeeds in several known genres: as family memoir, travel literature (de Waal's Japan is the nearest thing to being there, and over decades), essays on migration and exile, on cultural misperceptions, and on de Waal's attempt to define his relationship with his own kaolin creations. His book is also a new genre, unnamed and maybe unnameable., At one level [Edmund de Waal] writes in vivid detail of how the fortunes were used to establish the Ephrussis' lavish lives and high positions in Paris and Vienna society. And, as Jews, of their vulnerability: the Paris family shaken by turn-of-the century anti-Semitism surging out of the Dreyfus affair; the Vienna branch utterly destroyed in Hitler's 1937 Anschluss . . . At a deeper level, though, Hare is about something more, just as Marcel Proust's masterpiece was about something more than the trappings of high society. As with Remembrance of Things Past , it uses the grandeur to light up interior matters: aspirations, passions, their passing; all in a duel, and a duet, of elegy and irony., "Spellbinding . . . profoundly involving . . . a sensitive and astute inquiry into culture and family, inheritance and preservation, and the secret life of objects." -Donna Seaman, Booklist "A lovely, gripping book." - The Wall Street Journal "An extraordinary history . . . a serendipitous find: The Hare with Amber Eyes is a wondrous book, as lustrous and exquisitely crafted as the netsuke at its heart." -Heller McAlpin, Christian Science Monitor "Part family memoir, part Proutian confession, subtle, spare, and elegant." -Hilary Spurling, The Independent (London) "A marvelously absorbing synthesis of art history, detective story, and memoir. . . . Remarkable." - Kirkus Reviews "[This] book is also a new genre, unnamed and maybe unnameable . . . [a] cabinet of wonders." - The Guardian (London) "Full of beauty. . . . Buy two copies . . . keep one and give the other to your closest bookish friend." - The Economist "[A] beguiling reflection on art, family, and several decades of convulsive European history. . . . The ultimate message of this engrossing book is a profound one: that our lives are made and unmade in the company of things." - Telegraph (London) "Absorbing and thrilling to read." - The Times (London), What a treat of a book! It projects an iridescent mirage that once was real, a pageant of exquisite fragility, an aesthetic passion somehow surviving the brutalities of history. Mr. de Waal's nostalgia is tart, tactile, marvelously nuanced., Absorbing . . . In this book about people who defined themselves by the objects they owned, de Waal demonstrates that human stories are more powerful than even the greatest works of art., "Enthralling . . . [de Waal's] essayistic exploration of his family's past pointedly avoids any sentimentality . . .The Hare with Amber Eyesbelongs on the same shelf with Vladimir Nabokov'sSpeak, Memory." -Michael Dirda,The Washington Post Book World "At one level [Edmund de Waal] writes in vivid detail of how the fortunes were used to establish the Ephrussis' lavish lives and high positions in Paris and Vienna society.

There are many family memoirs whose stories are as enticing as Edmund de Waal's. There are few, though, whose raw material has been crafted into quite such an engrossing and exquisitely written book asThe Hare with Amber Eyes. . . One of the great triumphs ofThe Hare with Amber Eyes. . . is not just the assiduous way in which de Waal interrogates his raw evidence-scattered articles and newspaper cuttings, old paintings, forgotten buildings-but the way he summons up different eras so evocatively . . . [De Waal] is, too, as you would expect of a potter, wonderfully tactile in his investigations, interrogating the physical feel of the Ephrussis' different buildings, touching surfaces, assessing materials. This sensuality transmits itself also to his prose, which is beautiful to read-lithe and precise, crisp and delicate. The result is a memoir of the very first rank, one full of grace, economy, and extraordinary emotion." -Andrew Holgate,The Barnes & Noble Review "Remarkable . . . To be handed a story as durable and exquisitely crafted as this is a rare pleasure . . . Like the netsuke themselves, this book is impossible to put down. You have in your hands a masterpiece." -Frances Wilson,The Sunday Times(London) "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 "What a treat of a book! It projects an iridescent mirage that once was real, a pageant of exquisite fragility, an aesthetic passion somehow surviving the brutalities of history. Mr. de Waal's nostalgia is tart, tactile, marvelously nuanced."-Frederic Morton, author ofA Nervous Splendor: Vienna, 1888/1889 and The Rothschilds: Portrait of a Dynasty "A self-questioning, witty, sharply perceptive book . . .The Hare with Amber Eyesis rich in epiphanic moments . . .

Synopsis
A New York Times Bestseller 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.
