Description
- Porcelain Count The novel takes place at the beginning of the 18th century in Europe: in Paris, where Count von Goim serves as ambassador of the Electorate of Saxony and the Kingdom of Poland, and in Meissen, where student Tobias Sesen begins his working career at a porcelain factory. The life lines of the count and the student come into contact when Augustus the Strong recalls his ambassador and appoints him to the post of minister and director of the Meissen porcelain manufactory. Intrigues at the French and Saxon courts, squabbles at the factory, the count's love affair with the British ambassador and the first passion of the student Tobias for a retired cavalryman unfold against the backdrop of the story about the invention and the first two decades of the existence of European porcelain.
