Una maestra di osservazione ironica e arguzia bruciante... The Pillow Book conserva il suo fascino fresco e autentico a più di 1.000 anni dalla sua nascita' Japan Times Scritto dalla gentildonna di corte Sei Shonagon come diario per il suo divertimento, The Pillow Book è una delle più grandi opere della letteratura giapponese. Un'affascinante esplorazione della vita tra la nobiltà all'apice dell'idilliaco periodo Heian, descrive gli squisiti piaceri di un mondo confinato in cui dominavano poesia, amore, moda e capriccio. Da brevi riflessioni a racconti più lunghi e lirici, Shonagon si muove con eleganza attraverso temi che includono la natura, la società e i suoi stessi flirt e frustrazioni, per fornire una visione arguta e unica della vita di una donna a corte nel Giappone classico. Tradotto con un'introduzione di Meredith McKinney

Sei Shonagon was born approximately a thousand years ago (965 is a likely date) and served as lady-in-waiting at the Court of the Japanese Empress during the last decade of the tenth century. Her father was a provincial official, but is best known as a poet and a scholar. It is possible, though unlikely, that Shonagon was briefly married to a government official, by whom she may have had a son. Her life after her Court service came to an end is totally obscure. There is a tradition that she died in lonely poverty: but this is probably an invention of moralists who were shocked by her promiscuity and thought she deserved retribution. Our knowledge of Shonagon's life and character rests almost exclusively on the Pillow Book itself.
A translation of the idiosyncratic diary of a C10 court lady in Heian Japan. Along with the "Tale of Genji", it is one of the major Japanese classics.
