Invitado a exponer sus piezas de cerámica en el museo Nissim de Camondo, Edmund de Waal disfrutó del inesperado privilegio de adentrarse en uno de los palacetes más lujosos de París, antigua propiedad de una influyente familia sefardí. Construido por deseo del filántropo y coleccionista de arte Moïse de Camondo en 1912, el edificio acoge desde entonces una extraordinaria colección de arte francés del siglo XVIII. Sin embargo, como ocurrió a los antepasados de De Waal, los Ephrussi, también los Camondo se convirtieron pronto en blanco del antisemitismo. El infausto destino de este ilustre linaje sobrecogió a De Waal, que comenzó a escribir las cartas reunidas en este libro para rendir homenaje al recuerdo de una familia perdida y «contrarrestar el silencio del desdén». El resultado es una conmovedora y personalísima reflexión sobre el precio de la asimilación, la melancolía, los vínculos familiares, el arte, las vicisitudes de la historia y el valor de la memoria. «Con ecos de Sebald, citas de Proust, brindis a Roth e invocaciones a Benjamin, De Waal se reconfirma como un maestro de ese género con el que los escritores europeos se palpan los traumas del mundo de ayer y demuestra que la mejor literatura es la inesperada e involuntaria, la que escribe un ceramista mientras visita un museo. Es fascinante la habilidad de De Waal para adentrarnos en la oscuridad desde la banalidad del privilegio». Sergio del Molino, Babelia (El País) «De Waal es un gran escritor, nutrido de una copiosísima varia erudición, cuya riqueza, sin embargo, nunca empece el flujo de una pasión desbordante». Francisco Calvo Serraller, El País «A partir de una colección de arte, Edmund de Waal narra la historia de una familia judía parisina en Cartas a Camondo, un maravilloso ejercicio de literatura híbrida». Alberto Gordo, La Lectura «En las páginas de Cartas a Camondo conviven la belleza y el drama, la riqueza y la desolación. De Waal se ocupa de evocar un mundo de maneras proustianas previo a las persecuciones del nazismo: un microcosmos cultivado y cosmopolita. Una historia que podría ser considerada una secuela de La liebre con ojos de ámabar». Luis M. Alonso, La Nueva España «Un libro que recomiendo leer. Está en él la forma de vida de una estirpe social y étnica tremendamente sensible al arte. Y está en él también la manera en que una parte significativa de la gobernanza y la población francesa colaboró activamente en el exterminio de los judíos en su territorio». J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El Correo «Un libro sensibilísimo y bien tramado. Un frágil y bello canto a una familia judía». Biel Mesquida, Abril (El Periódico) «Si los españoles leyéramos a Edmund de Waal en masa tendríamos un país mucho más delicado, elegante y donde los fragmentos de los pasados rotos no se usan como metralla». Sergio del Molino, La Lectura (El Mundo) «Estas Cartas a Camondo, cartas apócrifas, leves, respetuosas, escritas con una emocionada extratemporalidad, buscan eludir –o no– el cerco de la muerte». Manuel Gregorio González, Diario de Sevilla «Un ejemplo de que la escritura puede ser cauce para reconstruir el pasado y rescatarlo, dando un valor enorme a esa conversación con los que ya no están». Fernando Sanmartín, Heraldo de Aragón «En este admirable y compasivo homenaje a una familia sefardí del siglo XX, el autor reúne con maestría a personas y objetos que la historia separó. Un magnífico complemento al fascinante relato de La liebre con ojos de ámbar». Nicholas Wroe, The Guardian

A tragic family history told in a collection of imaginary letters to a famed collector, Moise de Camondo Letters to Camondo is a collection of imaginary letters from Edmund de Waal to Moise de Camondo, the banker and art collector who created a spectacular house in Paris, now the Musée Nissim de Camondo, and filled it with the greatest private collection of French eighteenth-century art. The Camondos were a Jewish family from Constantinople, “the Rothschilds of the East,” who made their home in Paris in the 1870s and became philanthropists, art collectors, and fixtures of Belle Époque high society, as well as being targets of antisemitism—much like de Waal's relations, the Ephrussi family, to whom they were connected. Moise de Camondo created a spectacular house and filled it with art for his son, Nissim; after Nissim was killed in the First World War, the house was bequeathed to the French state. Eventually, the Camondos were murdered by the Nazis. After de Waal, one of the world’s greatest ceramic artists, was invited to make an exhibition in the Camondo house, he began to write letters to Moise de Camondo. These fifty letters are deeply personal reflections on assimilation, melancholy, family, art, the vicissitudes of history, and the value of memory.

The gripping story of the lure of porcelain, or 'white gold', from the Number One bestselling author of The Hare with Amber Eyes. ** A Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller ** "Other things in the world are white but for me porcelain comes first" A handful of clay from a Chinese hillside carries a promise: that mixed with the right materials, it might survive the fire of the kiln, and fuse into porcelain - translucent, luminous, white. Acclaimed writer and potter Edmund de Waal sets out on a quest - a journey that begins in the dusty city of Jingdezhen in China and travels on to Venice, Versailles, Dublin, Dresden, the Appalachian Mountains of South Carolina and the hills of Cornwall to tell the history of porcelain. Along the way, he meets the witnesses to its creation; those who were inspired, made rich or heartsick by it, and the many whose livelihoods, minds and bodies were broken by this obsession. It spans a thousand years and reaches into some of the most tragic moments of recent times. In these intimate and compelling encounters with the people and landscapes who made porcelain, Edmund de Waal enriches his understanding of this rare material, the 'white gold' he has worked with for decades. 'This is a haunting book, a book that amasses itself piece by piece, gaining in weight.' Olivia Laing, New Statesman 'A mighty achievement' Guardian

A powerful history of Jewish art collectors in France, and how an embrace of art and beauty was met with hatred and destruction In the dramatic years between 1870 and the end of World War II, a number of prominent French Jews—pillars of an embattled community—invested their fortunes in France’s cultural artifacts, sacrificed their sons to the country’s army, and were ultimately rewarded by seeing their collections plundered and their families deported to Nazi concentration camps. In this rich, evocative account, James McAuley explores the central role that art and material culture played in the assimilation and identity of French Jews in the fin-de-siècle. Weaving together narratives of various figures, some familiar from the works of Marcel Proust and the diaries of Jules and Edmond Goncourt—the Camondos, the Rothschilds, the Ephrussis, the Cahens d'Anvers—McAuley shows how Jewish art collectors contended with a powerful strain of anti-Semitism: they were often accused of “invading” France’s cultural patrimony. The collections these families left behind—many ultimately donated to the French state—were their response, tragic attempts to celebrate a nation that later betrayed them.

On a normal Wednesday afternoon, Judge Scott Sampson is preparing to pick up his six-year-old twins for their weekly swim. His wife Alison texts him with a change of plan: she has to take them to the doctor instead. So Scott heads home early. But when Alison arrives back later, she is alone - no Sam, no Emma - and denies any knowledge of the text . . .The phone then rings: an anonymous voice tells them that the Judge must do exactly what he is told in an upcoming drug case and, most importantly, they must 'say nothing'.So begins this powerful, tense breakout thriller about a close-knit young family plunged into unimaginable horror. As a twisting game of cat and mouse ensues, they know that one false move could lose them their children for ever.Hugely suspenseful - with its fascinating insight into the US judicial system and its politics of influence and nepotism - Say Nothing is, above all, the poignant story of the terror these parents face, and their stop-at-nothing compulsion to get their children back.

State Formation in the Liberal Era offers a nuanced exploration of the uneven nature of nation making and economic development in Peru and Mexico. Zeroing in on the period from 1850 to 1950, the book compares and contrasts the radically different paths of development pursued by these two countries. Mexico and Peru are widely regarded as two great centers of Latin American civilization. In State Formation in the Liberal Era, a diverse group of historians and anthropologists from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Latin America compare how the two countries advanced claims of statehood from the dawning of the age of global liberal capitalism to the onset of the Cold War. Chapters cover themes ranging from foreign banks to road building and labor relations. The introductions serve as an original interpretation of Peru’s and Mexico’s modern histories from a comparative perspective. Focusing on the tensions between disparate circuits of capital, claims of statehood, and the contested nature of citizenship, the volume spans disciplinary and geographic boundaries. It reveals how the presence (or absence) of U.S. influence shaped Latin American history and also challenges notions of Mexico’s revolutionary exceptionality. The book offers a new template for ethnographically informed comparative history of nation building in Latin America.
