The Collector Collector takes a conventional boy-meets-girl story and turns it into a brilliant comic romp.

Rosa’s bowl is no ordinary piece of clay, however: it is a ceramic sage, an urn of uncommon erudition that has witnessed all of history’s major convulsions--revolutions, famines, massacres, wars--and has survived more than four hundred breakages and three thousand thefts.

Fischer draws on decades of historical, psychological, and social research to answer that question by tracking the evolution of American character and culture over three centuries. He explodes myths—such as that contemporary Americans are more mobile and less religious th
