a04-260312004009015-000The Path of Classics: From Kiki to "Yoake Mae" by Nobuko Tonemura, published by Shin-Yo-KanA collection of 75 essays that sharply challenge established theories on diverse classical works from "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" to "Yoake Mae" with novel hypotheses and interpretations.Against the backdrop of extensive historical materials from ancient, medieval, and early modern periods, the author, a scholar of Japanese literature, uses her insatiable curiosity and deep knowledge of climate, history, and literature to sharply approach the dark aspects of historical facts and traditions with explanations and photographic illustrations.With a keen observational eye and prose that bounces elegantly like a ball,"It contains things I didn't know." - Kazuo Mabuchi (Linguist)"Condensed, rich information." - Yoichi Misumi (Scholar of Japanese Literature)"The photographs are used very effectively." - Munao Inoue (Waka Literature Scholar)The book has received high praise from authorities in narrative literature, waka studies, and novels, among others (from the afterword).There is no other book that treats historical facts with such care and writes about classical literature so enjoyably and lightly.9784860446338<%% SHIPPING %%>The author's handwritten signature is on the endpaper (inside of the cover).
