An Unsolicited Tale
9.99 €
"An Unsolicited Tale" was created in the thirteenth century by the heiress of a once-powerful aristocratic family related to the imperial house of Japan, Maid of Honor Nijo. This is the diary of an intelligent, insightful and gifted woman who had to live in an era when the monarchs of Japan - and the aristocracy in general - were almost completely deprived of real power, transferred to the warlords shoguns. With power also went much of the material wealth - land and valuables confiscated by the shogunate. But the centuries-old cultural tradition could not disappear overnight: even at the deprived residence of the imperial court still composed poetry and music, were engaged in drawing and calligraphy. This elusive beauty - translucent, semi-transparent, like the wings of an autumn butterfly that will never fly again - permeates the pages of The Unsolicited Tale.
