Descubre la fascinante historia de la familia Ephrussi a través de una colección de 264 netsuke, pequeñas esculturas japonesas de marfil. Edmund de Waal, descendiente de esta influyente familia judía, narra cómo estas piezas viajaron desde el París de la Belle Époque hasta el Viena del Fin de Siècle, y finalmente a Londres, sobreviviendo a la persecución nazi gracias al valor de un ama de llaves. Este libro es una crónica familiar que refleja la historia europea de los últimos ciento cincuenta años, explorando temas de posesión, pérdida y la perdurabilidad de la memoria.
