Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Part history, part notebook, the reports of this Swiss photographer who travelled in Japan for three decades are transporting, beguiling and often amusing. --The Independent, 9 January 2009

Day by day, person by person, Bouvier carefully adds paper-thin layers of understanding to his study of the country and its people ...its his gift for description which ensures that in pivotal stories... as well as more pedestrian moments, through Bouvier's eyes there is constant revelation. --Time Out London, 8 January 2009

Reseña del editor:

Nicolas Bouvier was an image merchant and photographer as well as a writer. The Eland edition of "Japanese Chronicles" will be accompanied by many of his startling images of Japan. "The Japanese Chronicles" is a distillation of Bouvier's lifelong quest for Japan and his many travels, so that the reader is able to discover the country through the eyes of both a passionate young man, the sensual appeciation of a middle-aged artist and the serenity of an experience writer. 'Like other great literature, [Bouvier's] Chronicles pulls the reader into a timeless dimension where all is transformed and there is no separation between the reader and the work' - "San Francisco Review of Books". 'Some of the most resonant and perceptive travel writing in recent years'. - "Kirkus Reviews". 'Bouvier's distinguished accomplishments have culminated here in a book that succeeds in transforming personal experiences into a series of epiphanies for the reader'. - "Booklist".. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
