(*)(大仏次郎, trans. by Ivan Morris) (★)(Titulo original : Tabiji [旅路, 1953年] 1.In clear and sophisticated prose,´The Journey´ examines the impact of the American occupation on Japan. Osaragi presents a complex story of love and greed, in which the characters battle for their own moral redemption, embodying the struggles of post-war Japan. The title refers to the journey of life itself -traditionally regarded in Japan as one without destination. And yet, in Osaragi´s view, American influence caused the destination to become everything to the Japanese- leading to inevitable dissatisfaction and ceaseless striving. 2.Jiro Osaragi was born in 1898. He studied political science and French law and literature at Tokyo Imperial University. At the insistence of his father, he worked in the Treaty Bureau of the Foreign Office, where he was forbidden to publish anything under his own name. He was the author of many plays, novels, and travel books that became best-sellers in Japan. Jiro Osaragi died 1973.) |
