Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, 207 pp,ills. Illustrated by Zabo. "In the last twenty-odd years so much has happened in [Japan], in addition to the staggering economic expansion of which all the world knows, that she has become an endlessly fascinating subject. George Mikes, having almost hoped to fall into the customary Western attitude of condescending pleasure at her "Oriental quaintness" (because it is rather easy to be funny in such an attitude), saw at once that this was not possible. There was nothing for it but to look at the Japanese as he looks at the rest of mankind: with his own inimitable blend of curiosity, respect. affection and irreverence. As a result, he makes Japan much more 'real' to the stranger than most observers do. There are plenty of jokes in his book, of course - and very good ones - but there is more straight portraiture and perceptive interpretation. Everyone writes about the tea ceremony -who else notices the way rubbish is thrown out? Everyone reports his own reaction to the Japanese tradition as embodied in the Kabuki theatre; but who else spots the reaction of the Japanese to their sense of tradition? Whether he is describing student revolt or the Geisha habit, the problems involved in using ideographs or styles of car-driving, morals or manners, George Mikes always has something to say which is both surprising and true." - from the blurb. Very Good in dustwrapper. Seller Inventory # ABE-04426

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Zabo (illustrator). First Edition. Proverbial wisdom is here proved wrong: three is company, and very good company. Japan is chiefly responsible for this. In the last twenty-odd years so much has happened in this country, in addition to the staggering economic expansion of which all the world knows, that she has become an endlessly fascinating subject. George Mikes, having almost hoped to fall into the customary Western attitude of condescending pleasure at her "Oritental quaintness" (because it is rather easy to be funny in such an attitude), saw at once that this was impossible. There was nothing for it but to look at the Japanese as he looks at the rest of mankind: with his own inimitable blend of curiosity, respect, affection and irreverence. As a result, he makes Japan much more 'real' to the stranger than most observers do. There are plenty of jokes in his book, of course - and very good ones - but there is even more straight portraiture and perceptive interpretation. Whether he is describing student revolt or the Geisha habit, the problems involved in using ideagraphs or styles of car-driving, morals or manners, George Mikes always has something to say which is both surprising and true.
