| Description | The novel is set in early 18th-century Europe: in Paris, where Count von Goim serves as ambassador for the Electorate of Saxony and the Kingdom of Poland, and in Meissen, where Tobias Sezen begins his working career at a porcelain factory. The lives of the count and the apprentice intersect when Augustus the Strong recalls his ambassador and appoints him minister and director of the Meissen porcelain factory. Intrigues at the French and Saxon courts, squabbles at the factory, the count's love affair with the British ambassador, and Tobias's first passion for a retired cavalryman unfold against the backdrop of the invention and first two decades of European porcelain. Writer and collector Anatoly Vyshevsky was born in Chernivtsi, emigrated from the USSR in 1979, defended his doctoral dissertation at the University of Kansas in 1985, studied 19th-century Russian literature, taught at Grinnell College (Iowa), and lives in Prague. In 2018, Meridian Czernowitz published Vyshevsky's first novel, Fragile Fantasies of the Oberbossierer Lois. |
