4.9/5 (14874 ratings)

Description:Kaname, a young man from Tokyo, escapes from a loveless marriage into the arms of Louisa, a Eurasian prostitute, tactfully permitting his wife to take a lover. His father-in-law, sensing the marriage is failing, tries to revitalize it by drawing the couple into an appreciation of classical Japanese arts, especially the puppet theater, which Tanizaki describes magnificently. Kaname's conflict-whether to embrace the traditional aesthetic and emotional satisfactions that are the mainstay of Japanese culture or to accept the more superficial westernized ways represented by Louisa-is symbolized by the parallels between the puppets of the traditional Japanese theater and the human puppets of the domestic conflict. It is a tale of sexual passion and disorientation that explores modern Japan's conflict between the values of Western culture and Occidental tradition.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
