Bog beskrivelse
A vibrant exploration of love, desire, and the complexities of human relationships in 17th-century Japan.

The Life of an Amorous Man is a groundbreaking work by Ihara Saikaku, celebrated as Japan''s first popular writer. Published in 1682, this is the first complete English translation of Saikaku''s captivating book.

Regarded to be the first modern Japanese novel, the story follows Yonosuke, a passionate young man whose insatiable quest for romance takes him through the lively streets of Edo, teeming with alluring courtesans, fleeting affairs, and the complexities of societal norms.

Saikaku''s writing, known for its wit and timeless style, provides a vivid snapshot of life during the Edo period. Drake''s translation preserves the elegance and humor of Saikaku''s prose, inviting readers into a world that oscillates between joy and melancholy. The inclusion of 54 original illustrations by Saikaku brings to life the nuances of Yonosuke''s adventures.

At its core, The Life of an Amorous Man is a profound meditation on the search for fulfillment in a transient world. With its rich setting and deeply relatable themes, this classic work remains a timeless exploration of the human heart and the nature of love itself.
