Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This new translation of the best stories by Ichiyo Higuchi showcases the pioneering author's profound sensitivity and lyrical eye. The crystalline beauty of falling snow is a painful reminder of lost innocence; three children growing up on the fringes of Tokyo's red-light district enjoy a last summer of freedom before adulthood and its compromises overtake them; a discontented serving maid and a prodigal son find their transgressions can be mutually beneficial; and a man's passion for an indifferent teahouse courtesan becomes so consuming that he is willing to sacrifice everything to it - his job, his family, perhaps even his life. Rarely translated into English, but revered in Japan for the purity of her classical language and her status as the country's first professional woman writer, Ichiyo Higuchi drew on her own short life in a poor Tokyo neighbourhood to inspire her work. With immense delicacy of phrase and feeling, and vivid evocations of the colourful festivals and salty street banter that mask unspoken yearning and disappointed hopes, she transmits both the beauty and the struggle of working-class women's lives in turn-of-the-century Japan. In her clear-eyed vision of the world, longing and memory may be the only solace. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

"The Danly-Ichiyo book is one of those works where the author and subject seem so perfectly matched that the style of each suffuses and inspires the other: Danly as translator and commentator picks up and transforms Ichiyo's blend of formal and colloquial language into flowing, strong, modern terms; she, in turn, spreads her wit, her melancholy, her sudden piercing insights to Danly." -Jonathan Spence, New Society.

El matrimonio entre dos personas de distintas clases sociales siempre resulta complicado, pero el de Seki y Harada ha llegado a ser tan insoportable para ella que está dispuesta a abandonar a su hijo con tal de divorciarse. Con esta determinación, acude una noche a la casa de sus padres para informarles de sus circunstancias y rogarles su ayuda. En el transcurso de la visita, Seki recordará sus responsabilidades familiares, pero también a su primer amor, los sueños infantiles que compartieron y cuánto han cambiado sus vidas hasta ahora. «[?] sin duda la primera gran escritora del nuevo Japón, del Japón que se asoma a la Modernidad» - Carlos Rubio en Mil años de literatura femenina en Japón. Satori Hilados: Una colección de cuadernos artesanales con hilo visto en cosido Singer. Un genio precoz de las letras japonesas que dio voz a las mujeres de su tiempo. Desde al amor hasta la muerte, pasando por la familia y la condición de clase, Higuchi explora en este relato los grandes temas de la literatura con una minuciosa atención a los pequeños detalles. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
