The Heike Story: The Novel of Love and War in Ancient Japan de Eiji Yoshikawa

The Heike Story: The Novel of Love and War in Ancient Japan: Tuttle Classics

Autor Eiji Yoshikawa Traducere de Fuki Wooyenaka Uramatsu Cuvânt înainte de Alexander Bennett
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 oct 2022
A page-turner by Japan's most popular writer of the immediate post-war era!

Set in Japan's turbulent 12th century, this fast-paced novel recounts the titanic struggle between two leading Japanese clans—the Heike and the Genji—as they seek to pacify a fractured nation, ultimately turning on each other in their unbridled lust for power.

Written by the great Eiji Yoshikawa, this classic work of fiction brings to life the wars, intrigues, feuds and romances surrounding the most dramatic episode in Japanese history.

This new edition features a foreword and afterword by historian Alexander Bennett, who explains the backdrop of the novel and its importance as a towering work of modern fiction which sold millions of copies in Japan. Combining raw narrative power, pageantry and poetry, The Heike Story will enthrall readers interested in the drama and spectacle of ancient Japan.

Recenzii

"Lesser known to international audiences than the tales of a certain promiscuous Genji,The Tale of The Heike stands equally important to its 11th century predecessor as a fellow foundational text of early Japan. Like The Iliad before it, The Tale of The Heike has been modernized and remodernized in Japan many a time before. Musashi's prolific author Eiji Yoshizawa's Shin Heike Monogatari (literally translating to The New Tale of The Heike, though released in translation with a different subtitle) has made waves."--Metropolis Japan
