From the bestselling historical novelist, a rich, transporting story that follows a family of glassmakers from the height of Renaissance-era Italy to present day.
It is 1486 and Venice is a wealthy, opulent center for trade. Orsola Rosso is the eldest daughter in a family of glassblowers in Murano, the island revered for the craft. As a woman, she is not meant to work with glass—but she has the hands for it, the heart, and a vision. When her father dies, she teaches herself to make beads in secret, and her work supports the Rosso family fortunes.
Skipping like a stone through the centuries, in a Venice where time moves as slowly as molten glass, we follow Orsola and her family as they live through creative triumph and heartbreaking loss, from a plague devastating Venice to Continental soldiers stripping its palazzos bare, from the domination of Murano and its maestros to the transformation of the city of trade into a city of tourists. In every era, the Rosso women ensure that their work, and their bonds, endure.
Стеклодув (Трейси Шевалье)
Это захватывающая история, написанная автором исторических бестселлеров, повествующая о семье стеклодувов с расцвета Италии эпохи Возрождения до наших дней.
На дворе 1486 год, и Венеция - богатый торговый центр. Орсола Россо - старшая дочь в семье стеклодувов с Мурано, острова, славящегося своим ремеслом. Как женщина, она не создана для работы со стеклом, но у нее есть для этого руки, сердце и дальновидность. Когда ее отец умирает, она втайне от всех учится делать бусы, и ее работа помогает семье Россо разбогатеть.
Перескакивая, словно камень, сквозь века, в Венеции, где время течет медленно, как расплавленное стекло, мы следуем за Орсолой и ее семьей, переживающими творческий триумф и душераздирающие потери, от чумы, опустошающей Венецию, до того, как солдаты континентальной армии обнажают ее палаццо, от господства Мурано и его маэстро до трансформации из города торговли он превратился в город туристов. В любую эпоху женщины Rosso заботятся о том, чтобы их работа и их связи оставались неизменными.
