| NOTA |
(★)(This first volume in this series which has proved itself so popular is certain to take a permanent place in the literature of our time, for the quality of its writing and the uniqueness of the subject. This autobiography, telling how a daughter of feudal Japan became Westernised, received unanimous praise. Of it Christopher Morley said : ´What a lovely book it is, and how much it has to teach us. I have a secret notion that it will go on for years, making friends for itself and for the brave woman who wrote it.´ It has been translated into several foreign languages, and has been a constant seller in America for nearly ten years. Few books, surely, can have had more eulogistic notices. The Times said it was ´of exceptional interest.´ The Morning Post called it ´one of the immortal autobiographies.´ The Daily Telegraph critic stated : ´I can say without hesitation that no more dignified or satisfactory interpreter of the Far East has yet appeared.´ The Scotsman said : ´The book must be read to gain an idea of the infinite charm that pervades it.´ ´Everyman´ said : ´Exquisite as a freshly opened cherry blossom. Every artist should read this book for the beauty of its style.´) |
