Críticas
"A sympathetic portrait, prescient about Japan's recovery as a major economic power." A.C. Grayling, author, "Toward the Light of Liberty"" "The anecdotes are often hilarious, sharply drawn and told in a droll tone that contrasts with the eccentricities being conjured up. The interpretations are sometimes amusing and sometimes astute . . . May has a delicious, if sometimes cruel, take on things." "The Financial Times"" "May goes to weddings, funerals, meetings with high-powered businessmen and New Year's Eve celebrations with Zen Buddhists, providing a series of brief but well-observed and often funny snapshots of life in Japan." "Times Literary Supplement""
Reseña del editor
As the first British Professor of Philosophy since 1882 to be invited to teach at the prestigious and enigmatic University of Tokyo - the Oxbridge of Japan - Simon May enjoyed a degree of access denied to other commentators. Each chapter of the book focuses on some everyday human matter, such as love, death, bureaucracy, hygiene, food, toilets, commuting, education, marriage and memory. Japanese attitudes to such issues are explored through a mixture of light-hearted anecdote and trenchant analysis, and through his vivid accounts of Kafkaesque bureaucracy, flying goldfish, gangsters at funerals, businessmen paying good money to be whipped, doctors faking death certificates and cover-ups at all levels of society, Simon May manages to expose the foibles of a people who have captivated and mystified the West for nearly two centuries.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Soft cover. Condición: Good. Second printing of paperback edition. Laid in is an email from author to critic Steven Moore (indexer of a later book of May's) denigrating this book (which I later read and liked). The condition would be very good if not for evidence of the removal of a gluey sticker on upper right front cover. Nº de ref. del artículo: ABE-1593435264806
