Synopsis
Excerpt from Madam Butterfly: A Japanese Tragedy Founded on the Book by John L. Long and the Drama by David Belasco; Italian Libretto by L. Illica and G. Giacosa
The relations arrive, together with the Japanese officials, and the marriage contract is signed with due ceremony. While the guests are joyfully drinking the newly-wedded pair's health, a weird figure suddenly appears on the scene, shouting and cursing Wildly. It is butterfly's uncle, the Bonze (japanese priest), who has discovered her renunciation of faith and has come to curse her for it. He insists on all her relations, including her mother, renouncing her for ever: whereupon pinkerton, annoyed at the disturbance, turns the whole lot out of his house, and they depart, shaking the air with their imprecations. Butterfly is left weeping bitterly, and pinkerton proceeds to comfort his poor little Japanese wife. He soon woos her back to smiles and happiness, and a passionate love scene follows. And so we leave this strangely-assorted pair on the threshold of their life together.

Madam Butterfly: A Japanese Tragedy, Founded on the Book by John L
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of a tragic love story set against the backdrop of cultural clashes and societal expectations in early 20th-century Japan. The narrative centers around a young Japanese woman, known as Butterfly, who enters into a marriage with an American naval officer, Pinkerton. The story explores the complexities of cross-cultural relationships, highlighting the stark differences in perception and understanding between the two protagonists. Butterfly's unwavering faith in Pinkerton's love and promises contrasts sharply with his more pragmatic and transient view of their union. The author masterfully portrays themes of love, loyalty, and cultural identity, inviting readers to contemplate the consequences of cultural misunderstandings and the enduring power of hope and devotion in the face of adversity. Through Butterfly's poignant journey, the book offers a profound reflection on the human capacity for love and sacrifice, and the devastating impact of cultural naivety and societal constraints.
