by Edmund de Waal (Author)
More than two hundred wooden and ivory figurines, none larger than a matchbox, are the origin of this fascinating book in which Edmund de Waal describes the journey they have taken over the years. A journey full of adventures, war, love and loss, which summarizes, in the story of a family, the history of Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries. An evocative text of great beauty that begins with a small hare with amber eyes that mixes in a pocket with the coins, and ends, like any true journey, with the discovery of oneself.
