Seller's Description:
Good. Wear, scuff marks and discolouration to cover, creases down spine where read, pages in good condition, shipped from the UK. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding.
Not the first book IÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢ve read by Mr. Morris, so I was prepared for the wry humor, excellent, informative, but very readable prose.
He treats in this book, not just the primary source Ã?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â?¦"The Tale of GenjiÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â??Ã?Â?, but a couple of contemporary texts, such as Ã?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â?¦"The Pillow BookÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â??Ã?Â? of Sei Shonagon, and one or two others. But, as the intent is to write generally of the culture featured in these books, he makes very good points that cover all of them. Good to remember when I next read Shonagon, or contemporary fiction set in this era.
