A Lady in Kyoto - Sei Shōnagon

Brand: Penguin   |   Status: Hết hàng
240.000₫

"...A Lady in Kyoto offers a remarkable insight into the culture of the 11th-century Japanese imperial court. Written by Sei Shōnagon, a court lady in service to the Empress Teishi, this text recalls the author’s more famous work, The Pillow Book, as both are characterised by her lucid observations and poetic prose. A great work of literary craftsmanship in its own right, A Lady in Kyoto is a beautiful text that, despite its age, remains timeless. Its enduring beauty perhaps means that this work is better read as a long poem rather than a short book. Either way, this is an impressive work of literature that far exceeds the sum of its pages." - Goodreads reviewer

All moonlight is moving, wherever it may be...

Japanese gentlewoman Sei Shonagon invites us to look behind the painted screens in the Emperor's palace and discover a lost world, in which games of poetry are the highest form of wit, lovers send each other elegant morning-after letters, and appreciation of the natural world - wild geese in autumn, the pure white frost of winter - is one of life's most exquisite pleasures.
