Description

Bruce Chatwin's bestselling novel traces the fortunes of Kaspar Utz, an enigmatic collector of Meissen porcelain living in Cold War Czechoslovakia. Although Utz is allowed to leave the country each year, and considers defecting each time, he always returns to his Czech home, a prisoner of the Communist state and of his precious collection.

"A triumph." The Washington Post

"Exquisite. . . One thinks of a Vermeer painting, a luminous miniature disclosing worlds within worlds." Newsday
