The Setting Sun (New Directions Book)

Good price quick delivery

Brought this for my son, as I got him the 1st book and he liked it, it seemed obvious to get him this one.

The book is emotionally and mentally challenging, it also paints a scene of Japanese culture and conventions of the aristocracy which is not apparent to many western readers including me. Great book.

Pretty similar in a lot of ways to almost Human, I wouldn't read them both back to back anyway. Pretty good though, you'll enjoy it if you liked almost Human

Couldn't put it down

I am in a book club and this book was chosen by a member. I did not know the author. The book was very well written and interesting in its detail of Japanese life

Amazing book, it’s probably one of my all time favourites. The format and the physical state of it was also great.

This book is probably way too intellectual for me. Its like one of those books you dont quite "get" until you've read it hundreds of times. Subtlety and beauty are the order of things, yet darker symbolism and meaning (including the age old Japanese/shakespearan method of using nature to symbolise events) are also used to add depth to already deeper than deep meaning. The simplicity of this novel makes it almost perfect, yet I feel there is something lacking in the writing...a certain love, a certain something, which is hinted at yet never fully explored.

A mi hijo le encantó, suelo comprarle libros en ingles para que practique su ingles

going on a trip to Japan. wanted to read some stuff while there. however, started this book before I left and finished it in 3 days. lovely. mesmerizing. classic. clean. succinct. must read. can't wait to read more of his work.

5/5 wasn’t damaged during delivery or nothing :) love this book

one of my favourites.

Acquistato per un regalo, arrivato nei tempi previsti e in ottime condizioni, la persona che l'ha ricevuto ne è rimasta soddisfatta.
