Paperback. Condition: 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 la…st 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.

Paperback. Condition: New. 'A pleasure to read' Mieko Kawakami'Subtle, precise and deft' Lucy Caldwell'Remarkable and devastating' Senaa AhmadIchiyo Higuchi, Japan's first professional female author, wrote about daily life with unprecedented intimacy and honesty. This new translation of her finest stories showcases the profound…sensitivity, lyrical eye and classical elegance of a revered Japanese writer.Vividly evoking the colourful festivals and salty street banter of Tokyo's turn-of-the-century red-light district, delicately eliciting its inhabitants' quiet yearning and regret, Higuchi introduces us to children losing their innocence, working-class women losing their livelihoods, and teahouse courtesans losing their hearts. In her clear-eyed vision of the world, longing and memory are what save us.Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.Translated by Bryan Karetnyk.Ichiyo Higuchi (1872-1896) was born into a prosperous family whose fortunes declined sharply over the course of her childhood. After the deaths of her father and brother, she moved with her mother and sisters to a poor Tokyo neighbourhood adjacent to the Yoshiwara pleasure district. In an effort to shore up the family finances, Higuchi began publishing her short stories, which quickly earned her a reputation as a major new writer. Over a brief period she wrote some twenty-one stories, thousands of poems and an extensive diary. She died of tuberculosis shortly after the beginning of this brilliant literary career, aged only twenty-four. From 2004 to 2024 her face appeared on Japan's 5,000-yen note.Bryan Karetnyk is a British writer and translator. His translations for Pushkin Press include works by Gaito Gazdanov, Irina Odoevtseva, Jun'ichiro Tanizaki and Ryunosuke Akutagawa. He is also the editor of the Penguin Classics anthology Russian Émigré Short Stories from Bunin to Yanovsky.

Paperback. Condition: New. "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; sh…e, in turn, spreads her wit, her melancholy, her sudden piercing insights to Danly." -Jonathan Spence, New Society.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Una conmovedora historia sobre la complejidad de las relaciones humana y el papel de la mujer en la sociedad Meiji. 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 disp…uesta 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.
