  • <p>Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I am 16 hours out of sync following last night’s flight, and when I draw back our thick gray curtains, I see just a few small white badges of light under a blue-ing sky. I slip on T-shirt and jeans in the dark and shuffle into loafers. #2 I visit the Deer’s Slope neighborhood in Japan. The only house that takes up a full block is the one with the friendly old lady who sometimes opens the gate for a gangster. #3 Autumn is the season when everything falls away. I turn around and begin to head back down the hill, through the silent village and up the stairs to my rectilinear neighborhood of vending machines and hair salons. #4 I long to be in Japan in the autumn.

But I try to be back in Japan for the season of fire and farewells.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお...

  • <p><em>We cherish things, Japan has always known, precisely because they cannot last; it's their frailty that adds sweetness to their beauty.</em></p> <p>Returning to his home in Japan after his father-in-law's sudden death, Pico Iyer soon picks up the steadying patterns of his everyday rites: going to the post office in the day and engaging in spirited games of ping-pong in the evenings. But in a country whose calendar is marked with occasions honouring the dead, he soon finds himself grappling with the question we all have to live with: how to hold on to the things we love even though we know that they ? and we ? are dying.</p> <p>As the maple leaves begin to turn and the heat starts to soften, Iyer shows us a Japan we have seldom seen before through the season that reminds us to take nothing for granted.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このペー...

  • <p><strong>In this “exquisite personal blend of philosophy and engagement, inner quiet and worldly life" (<em>Los Angeles Times),</em> an acclaimed author returns to his longtime home in Japan after his father-in-law’s sudden death and picks up the steadying patterns of his everyday rites, reminding us to take nothing for granted.</strong></p> <p>In a country whose calendar is marked with occasions honoring the dead, Pico Iyer comes to reflect on changelessness in ways that anyone can relate to: parents age, children scatter, and Iyer and his wife turn to whatever can sustain them as everything falls away. As the maple leaves begin to turn and the heat begins to soften, Iyer shows us a Japan we have seldom seen before, where the transparent and the mysterious are held in a delicate balance.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できま...
