In De witte weg verteld Edmund de Waal de geschiedenis van het materiaal dat hem als keramist al zijn hele leven fascineert. Door te reizen naar de plekken waar porselein werd uitgevonden, vervaardigd, verfijnd, verzameld en begeerd, probeert hij de aantrekkingskracht te doorgronden van wat ooit bekendstond als ‘het witte goud’. Hij bezoekt de drie landen – China, Duitsland en Engeland – die bepalend zijn geweest bij de ontdekking, de verspreiding en de popularisering van de techniek om uit klei keramiek te maken. Zijn zoektocht voert hem ook verder de wereld over: hij doet de zijderoute aan, bezoekt de paleizen van Versailles en Venetië, strijkt neer in Delft, schrijft over de Cherokees in North Carolina, vertelt de familiegeschiedenis van de Wedgwoods en slaat de zwarte bladzijden van de twintigste eeuw niet over: Himmler leidde zijn gasten rond in zijn eigen porseleinfabriek in Dachau, die werd bevolkt door zorgvuldig geselecteerde kampgevangenen. De geschiedenis van porselein, zo leert De Waal, is meer dan een verhaal van serviezen en beeldjes, van elegante gebruiksvoorwerpen en gewilde verzamelaarsobjecten. De witte weg is de meeslepende kroniek van een persoonlijke en alomtegenwoordige bewondering voor een procedé waarin alchemie, kunst, rijkdom, handwerk en schoonheid samenkomen.

An extraordinary blend of narrative history and memoir, by the author of the award-winning and bestselling international sensation, The Hare with Amber Eyes In The White Road, artist Edmund de Waal gives us an intimate portrait of his lifelong obsession with porcelain, or “white gold.” A potter who has been working with porcelain for more than forty years, de Waal describes how he set out on five journeys to places where porcelain was dreamed about, refined, collected, and coveted—and that would help him understand the clay’s mysterious allure. From his studio in London, he begins by travelling to three “white hills”—sites in China, Germany, and England that are key to porcelain’s creation. But his search eventually leads him around the globe and reveals more than a history of cups and figurines; rather, he is forced to confront some of the darkest moments of twentieth-century history. Part memoir, part history, part detective story, The White Road chronicles a global obsession with alchemy, art, wealth, craft, and purity.

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
