The Silver Spoon (eBook, ePUB)

Memoir of a Boyhood in Japan

Übersetzer: Sato, Hiroaki

Beschreibung

one of the singular classics of early 20th century Japanese literature, and perhaps the most admired childhood memoir ever written in Japan, The Silver Spoon for Japanese readers evokes nostalgia for the past, memories of their own childhood, and that favorite bittersweet Japanese emotion of beauty tinged with regret.

the loose plot and close observation of detail epitomize a Japanese style of writing that is still much admired and appeals to those (many of them "older" readers) who do not care for the Murasaki modernist tone

translated by Hiroaki Sato, one of the most eminent translators of Japanese literature and poetry, with many works to his credit

a fresh new work representing a literary period and style that has not seen much action in the past 10-15 years

NOTE: we are releasing this book as short run digital print only due to expected low volume of preorders
