Найти книгу: "Clueless in Tokyo"

A perfect introduction to Japan and Japanese culture, this illustrated culture and travel guide contains loads of original drawings as well as the Japanese script for key words and phrases. Some people take photos, but artist Betty Reynolds captures memories with her paintbrush and watercolors. Clueless in Tokyo provides an outsider's take on everyday life in Japan's capital city—a place where vending machines talk, toilets can be terrifying, and centuries-old festivals unfold against a backdrop of space-age architecture. During the seven years Reynolds lived in Japan, she filled thirty sketchbooks with everything that caught her eye. Whether it's fashion, food, sport, transport, seasonal rituals, or Japanese pastimes, each vibrant sketch is a delight, and Reynolds' witty hand-lettered captions in both Japanese and English provide an entertaining resource for beginning learners of the Japanese language.Adult students and travelers alike will find this Japan travel guide to be a charming and insightful addition to their trip.

Pole lihtne armastada linna, mis sind esialgu eirab ja hiljem ahvardab sulle kaela kukkuda. Aga kas selleks, et uhest linnast kirjutada, pean ma teda tingimata armastama? Motlesin selle ule pikalt ja joudsin jareldusele: ei pea.Hetkest, kui loobusin kohustusest Tokyot armastada, hakkasin ma selle linna kaekaigu vastu huvi tundma. Tagasihoidlik huvi kasvas aja jooksul sumpaatiaks ja edasi juba leebeks kiindumuseks. Pidasin end ikka suureks unistajaks, aga ka oma koige lennukamates fantaasiates ei kujutlenud ma, et ulja naljana ette voetud projekt „Jaapani poiss aastaks“ lopeb abiellumisega samurai suguvosasse.Nahtamatu on see piir unistuste ja toeluse vahel. Millal saab fantaasiast tegelikkus, voorast inimesest oma, kaugest kultuurist kodu? Millisel hetkel saab lapsest taiskasvanu? Raske on margata, millal ma nendest piiridest ule astusin voi kas ikka astusin.Maarja Yano

A major international debut novel from a storyteller who couples a timelessly beguiling style to an energetically modern worldscape.Thirteen passengers are stranded at an airport. Tokyo, their destination, is covered in snow and all flights are cancelled. To pass the night they form a huddle by the silent baggage carousels and tell each other stories.Robert De Niro’s child, conceived in a Laundromat, masters the transubstantiation of matter and turns it against his enemies; a Ukrainian merchant is led by a wingless bird back to a lost lover; a man who edits other people’s memories has to confront his own past; a Chinese youth with amazing luck cuts men’s hair and cleans their ears; an entrepreneur risks losing everything in his obsession with a doll; a mute Turkish girl is left all alone in the house of German cartographer.Told by people on a journey, these are stories about lives in transit. Stories from the great cities – New York, Istanbul, Delhi, Lagos, Paris, Buenos Aires – that grow in to a novel about the hopes and dreams and disappointments that connect people everywhere.Dasgupta’s writing is utterly distinctive and fresh, so striking that it seems to come from the future and the past all at once, but in marrying a timeless mystery to an alert modernity, his cautionary tales manage to be reminiscent of both Ballard and Borges, depicting ordinary extraordinary individuals (some lost, some confused, some happy) in a world that remains ineffable, inexplicable, wonderful.
