The Storyteller and his Three Daughters
From the internationally bestselling author of the Tales of the Otori, comes a tale of families, love, intrigue and betrayal. ''For readers who want to be entertained, but not at the cost of good writing, The Storyteller and his Three Daughters is the best kind of novel - exquisitely crafted prose, fully developed, believable characters, well-researched historically - and above all, a gripping plot'' The Sydney Morning Herald TOKYO 1884: Sei has devoted his life to storytelling, captivating audiences with his tales. But now he is starting to wonder if the new world has left him behind. Just when he thinks he will never write again, his own life and the lives of the people around him begin to spiral out of control - providing the inspiration for the greatest story he has ever told. A story of love, jealousy, intrigue, and betrayal. Set against the background of Japan''s first incursions into Korea, Sei offers a wise and witty reflection on the nature of storytelling, its perils and delights, its lies and, ultimately, its truth. PRAISE for the Tales of the Otori books and Blossoms and Shadows, also by Lian Hearn: ''a tour de force of pure storytelling'' The Sydney Morning Herald ''intelligent, accomplished, audacious and finely written'' The Age ''uniquely charming, flowing and seductive'' The Courier-Mail ''beautifully crafted'' The Herald Sun

Blossoms and Shadows

release date: Jan 01, 2012
Blossoms and Shadows
Japan, 1857. For centuries Japan has been on its own; isolated by choice from the rest of the world. But the Western powers are now at its shores demanding to be let in, the government is crumbling and revolution is building. The age of the samurai is ending and in its place a new Japan will be born. A young woman is readying herself for marriage in this, the most tumultuous period of her nation''s history. The daughter of a doctor, Tsuru has been working alongside him and learning the ways of medicine all her life. When her father allows her to marry the man she loves - a fellow doctor - she believes her life will be all she''s dreamed it could be. Happily married, working amongst men as an equal. But Japanese society does not work this way. The men of the times - boys she''s known since childhood - are determined to expel the foreigners, using violence and whatever else they need to make their message heard. The women are expected to be hidden at home, or behind the paper walls of the tea houses. Tsuru is far too able to accept this and she is drawn into a shadowy world of subversion, political intrigue and a dangerous love. In time, she is working on the battlefields, alongside men, to care for the wounded. Blossoms and Shadows is a compelling tale of love and war, women and men, and the rise of modern Japan. It shines a brilliant light on a time in history that few have known about until now, though the change it brought continues to ripple around the world.

Flores y sombras

Flores y sombras
Japón, 1857. Durante siglos Japón se ha valido por su cuenta, aislado voluntariamente del resto del mundo. Pero las potencias occidentales se plantan ahora en sus costas demandando entrar, el gobierno se desmorona y la revolución se empieza a gestar. La época de los samuráis está a punto de terminar y es el momento de que un nuevo Japón renazca. Una joven se aventura es este revuelo. Tsuru cuenta con casarse con un hombre elegido por sus padres, y con un poco de suerte podrá trabajar ayudando a su padre, médico. Pero su vida se ve trastocada por las creencias de una nueva era y por los extremistas de su entorno -cuyo eslogan es sonnôjôi (venera al emperador, echa al extranjero) y su método para convencer a la gente es la violencia. En una sociedad que espera que las mujeres permanezcan ocultas en sus casas o tras los papeles pintados de los salones de té, Tsuru se ve arrastrada por la subversión, la intriga política y un amor peligroso, hasta terminar en pleno campo de batallla, un mundo de hombres, cuidando de los heridos. Flores y sombras es un absorbente relato de amor y de guerra, de mujeres y hombres, del nacimiento del Japón moderno. Arroja una luz brillante en una época de la historia de la que poco se ha sabido hasta ahora, aunque el impacto que supuso todavía deja murmullos en todo el mundo. -- Amazon.com.
