Summary
Ludovic Naudeau: Flavors of Japan
A novel from contemporary life by Ludovic Naudeau, illustrations by Sabattier. After Loti's "Madame Chrysanthemum", the best work, in which the difference between European and Japanese mentality is clearly discernible. This book has all the signs of a serious ethnological study in addition to a great fiction framework. Japanese notions of honor and honesty, nudity and nudity, which do not arouse any sensual feelings in them, about public parties and theaters, about the role played by actors and wrestlers in Japan - you will find the most thorough lessons about all this in this book.
