| Resumen: | Set in the midst of samurai warfare in the mountainous region of Aizu in the late 19th century, Okei recounts the coming of age of a young peasant girl Okei, who falls desperately in love with the fierce warrior Sanasuma Kingo, only to learn that the world she inhabits has no place for love. The two live in entirely different worlds, and Okei must learn to understand both the nature of her hidden feelings rising within her and the arcane codes and honor system of the samurai. As the forces of the old Tugokawa order struggle to contain the imperialist army, Okei and her rural community find that exile to the New World may be their only remaining chance of survival. Epically capturing the character of a country in the midst of revolution and faced with the onset of modernity, Mitsugu Saotome’s masterful novel manages to blend vivid historical detail with a timeless tale of romance, self-discovery, and growing up. |

/ Jun'ichi Watanabe (2008)
TÃtulo : | Beyond the blossoming fields | Tipo de documento: | texto impreso | Autores: | Jun'ichi Watanabe (1933-2014), Autor ; Deborah Stuhr Iwabuchi, Traductor ; Anna Husson Isozaki (1968-), Traductor | Editorial: | Richmond : Alma Books | Fecha de publicación: | 2008 | Número de páginas: | 313 p | ISBN/ISSN/DL: | 978-1-84688-064-3 | Idioma : | Inglés (eng) | Clasificación: | [Palabras claves]LITERATURA JAPONESA [Palabras claves]NOVELA JAPONESA
| Resumen: | As a young girl from a wealthy family, Ginko Ogino seems set for a conventional life in the male-dominated society of nineteenth-century Japan. But when she contracts gonorrhoea from her husband, she suffers the ignominy of divorce. Forced to bear the humiliation of being treated by male doctors, she resolves to become a doctor herself in order to treat fellow female sufferers and spare them some of the shame she had to endure. Her struggle is not an easy one: her family disown her, and she has to convince the authorities to take seriously the very idea of a female doctor, and allow her to study alongside male medical students and sit the licensing exam. Based on the real-life story of Ginko Ogino – Japan’s first female doctor – Beyond the Blossoming Fields does full justice to the complexity of her character and her world in a fascinating and inspirational work of fiction. |
