Pressestimmen

The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon has not only amply filled the long-felt need for a full English translation, but has also made a contribution to Heian studies... A mine of information... [Morris's] translation maintains a high quality throughout. Journal of Asian Studies The Pillow Book is one of the three most important works of its kind in Japanese literature, and Professor Morris has given it handsome treatment. Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland Gives all sorts of insights into the court life of the times, and into the worldly character and mentality of its author. It comes over extraordinarily well in this translation, and can rank with any other collection of court memoirs the world over. Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies The liveliest and most endearing of Heian writers, and the one who gives the most intimate and vivid picture of life at court... Its denizens emerge as real and never-to-be-forgotten people... One can be but grateful to Professor Morris that the whole spectacle is now presented to the world... [his] translation is admirable for its smoothness and readability. Professor Morris belongs to the literary rather than the literal school of translators, and his talents are here shown at their best. Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies

Kurzbeschreibung

The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon is an immensely detailed account of court life in eleventh-century Japan. Written at the height of Heian culture, it is a classic text of great literary beauty, full of lively anecdotes, humorous observations, and subtle impressions. Sei Shonagon was a contemporary and erstwhile rival of Lady Murasaki, whose novel, The Tale of Genji, fictionalized the court life that Lady Shonagon captures so vividly in her diary. The Pillow Book contains her reflections on royal and religious ceremonies, nature, pilgrimage, conversation, and poetry. Lady Shonagon shares character sketches and the things she both loves and loathes. Her style is so eloquent, her wit so sharp, even the briefest fragments enchant us. There is no better introduction to the daily preoccupations of the Heian upper class, and Ivan Morris's notes and contextualization enrich the material for scholars and general readers.

Format:Taschenbuch
The book is as fascinating as the history that surrounds it. Written during the Heian dinasty, it markes a breaktrough in its epoch. The Chinese influence over Japan was overwhelming, especially from a Cultural point of view. So the Heian leaders prohibited all that came from China. Thus, the alphabet changed.

Women were not allowed to be instructed; they just were educated to attend their dwelling and their maa. But Sei, a sort of ancient autodidact, taught herself a new language, and a new way of writing.

Many consider this the first real book in history. But it has its critic. Another women of the time, but tamed for Imperial joyness, Murasaki Shikibu, depicted the book as silly, because it dealt with every day common life.

What it really bring to us is an extraordinary recollection of ideas, commentaries, glossaries and thoughts that women were supposed not to have then.

This intimist, simple novel, permits us to look our daily rutine with other eyes, and makes us aware that everyday, every other second, id unique, and that we must use it as if we we were selected for posteriority.

This book opens a window on a vanished world. Yet, because the lady who wrote the book writes what she believes a private volume we get to see her world warts and all.

In many ways it shows that while society may change, and people are shaped by their culture, what it comes down to in the end is that we are still human beings.

I can't think of a volume from western litrature of this age written by women. This is proof is you ever needed it that Japan truly is a land of ancient cultured people. Thankfully one that has preserved at least some of what they knew.

I have just completed a reading of Ivan Morris' translation of the Sei Shonagon Pillow Book and I cannot reccoment it enough. What is striking about the literature of Heian era Japan is not only that the great majority of it was produced by brilliant women, but that the parallels between the ancient human condition and that of the modern are amazing. Reading about the joys and annoyances in the life the brilliant and quick witted Sei Shonagon are comfortingly familiar. In comparison to other literature of the time it is also an extremely candid look at a fascinating civilization. What sets Shonagon apart from her contermporaries is her ability to express uncensored opinions that are both hillarious, beautiful, and heartbreaking. She does not show the aversion to boldness that some of her (though equally brilliant) sisters of the ancient courts demonstrate. All the writing of this era is fascinating and becoming unfortunately harder to find (eg - the out of print status of the beautiful Izumi Shikibu Diary - Nikki) If anything, purchase this book to keep the brilliant voices of women past alive in our hearts, minds and presses today!

You are handed a key.
The book is timeless. It's not about Heian era Japan - after the not very taxing mental effort you can detach yourself from Oriental trappings, they are very secondary. Lesen Sie weiter...

Less daunting than TALE OF GENJI
What a curious artifact! The tone of this book is so charming and unique. Sei Shonagon viewed her society entirely through a lens of aesthetics. Lesen Sie weiter...
