Sinossi
L'insoddisfazione per la vita in una provincia povera di stimoli, l'amore divorante per la lettura, la delusione della vita a corte, un matrimonio tardivo e poco romantico, la difficoltà ad accettare di diventare madre, la ricerca di una felicità possibile solo nella fantasia, la scelta infine della solitudine: dal Giappone di mille anni fa questa è la storia in forma di diario di una donna, dei suoi sogni e delle sue disillusioni. Un racconto autobiografico al femminile di una scrittrice di cui non sappiamo nemmeno il nome, perché in quella società patriarcale non aveva il diritto ad averne uno, perché poteva riconoscersi solo come moglie, madre, sorella o figlia, e che attraverso la scrittura cerca invece di costruire il proprio mondo.

So what do you write a book about if you face none of the Leggi tutto
If you ignore the condescending foreword from the Ivan Morris translations, you'll find this to be an excellent, cleverly-arranged book that Takasue's Daughter/Lady Sarashina designed as a multi-layered morality tale about the superficiality of fable as well as a way in which to subvert the Heian Bu Leggi tutto
“It is their scent aloneThat tells me what those scattered orange blossoms are.Else I should have thought they wereUntimely flakes of snow.” The text was interesting enough, but about the curator... Man, if you don't like a book why would you even choose it for your work lol
I spent such a long time working hard on my studies that I almost forgot how much I used to enjoy making reviews of my books, albuns and films, so, thinking about that I decide to continue with this pleasant job. Well, because of my latest activities at a History Congress here, I wrote this article
