Few novels have made a more shattering impact on their society than El Filibusterismo - and its predecessor, Noli Me Tangere, by Jose Rizal. And surely no writer has paid a higher penalty for self-expression. Rizal was executed by firing squad mainly because of these two books.

Japanese noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu wrote The Tale of Genji in the 11th century to entertain the other women in the court. It follows the romantic exploits of the title character, an emperor’s son, as he navigates life within aristocratic society and eventually outside of it. Praised for its psychological insight into the characters’ motivations, the book greatly influenced Japanese culture and is widely considered the world’s first novel. In 1882, Suematsu Kencho translated a condensed version of the text into English, allowing this classic tale to reach a wider audience.

Li Po (AD 701-762) lived in T'ang Dynasty China, but his influence has spanned the centuries: the pure lyricism of his poems has awed readers in China and Japan for over a millennium, and through Ezra Pound’s translations, Li Po became central to the modernist revolution in the West. However ethereal in spirit, his poems remain grounded in the everyday experience we all share. He wrote 1,200 years ago, half a world away, but in his poems we see our world transformed.

Story7
In Ghostly Japan collects 12 ghostly stories from Lafcadio Hearn, deathless images of ghosts and goblins, touches of folklore and superstition, salted with traditions of the nation. While some of these stories contain nightmare imagery worthy of a midnight creature feature, others are not ghostly or ghastly at all. "Bits of Poetry" offers an engaging study on verse, and "Japanese Buddhist Proverbs" explains the meaning of several aphorisms based on Japanese cultural references.

From puberty to marriage, from pregnancy to menopause, Rujuta explains in detail the changes women go through (and, God knows, as Indian women, we go through way beyond those just hormonal - husband, in-laws, children, career, etc) and how what we do (or don't) during these phases affects our overall well-being.

20 mars 1995. Des disciples de la secte Aum lâchent du gaz sarin dans le métro de Tokyo. Qu'est-ce qui fait qu'une telle folie survient dans le quotidien le plus banal ? Comment est-il possible d'être endoctriné au point de commettre un tel crime ? Regroupant les témoignages de blessés mais aussi de disciples de la secte, Haruki Murakami cherche à comprendre. Victimes et coupables sont-ils vraiment si différents que les seconds soient considérés comme le diable en personne ? Et si les fanatiques d'Aum n'étaient finalement que l'effrayant miroir de ce dont nous sommes tous capables ?

Uno studente di Tōkyō intraprende un viaggio solitario nella pittoresca penisola di Izu: spera di trovare sollievo ai propri tormenti. Nella bellezza del paesaggio autunnale, il protagonista vive un'esperienza che lo segnerà a fondo: conosce Kaoru, una giovane danzatrice errante, pura nella sua naturale semplicità e nel suo animo infantile. In un delicato equilibrio tra lo scenario idilliaco di Izu e le dinamiche emotive fra i due, Kawabata esplora il tema della bellezza effimera e dell'innocenza perduta, catturando con maestria la fugacità del momento.

En poste depuis dix-huit ans, elle n'a aucune intention de quitter sa petite boutique, au grand dam de son entourage qui s'inquiète de la voir toujours célibataire et précaire à un âge où ses amies de fac ont déjà toutes fondé une famille. En manque de main-d'œuvre, la supérette embauche un nouvel employé, Shiraha, trente-cinq ans, lui aussi célibataire.
