A propos de cet article

Knopf, New York in 1960, and was originally published in Japanese in 1951 under the title "Tabiji". Jacket designed by Fei Cheng-Wu. The author's real name was Kiyohiko Nojiri, Jiro Osarag being a pen name. ***Near fine in black cloth-covered boards with silver titles to the spine. The silver is still beautifully bright having been protected by the dustwrapper. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or creasing. Corners sharp. Page block edges of nice and clean with just minimal foxing to the fore-edge. The binding is square with no reading lean. Spine tight. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. Interior pages are clean with no foxing.

The dustwrapper is complete, with just light rubbing to the extremities, mainly at the head and tail of the spine. The head of the spine is very slightly creased, but there are no serious creases, chips or tears. The front panel is slightly marked, being a pale yellow colour. Spine of dustwrapper unfaded. Dustwrapper bright. ***210mm x 135mm. 342 pages. ***'Jiro Osaragi, whose "Homecoming" was much praised in 1955, is a novelist of unusual range and power. In "The Journey", a rich and eventful novel, told on a far more realistic plane than is customary in Japanese fiction, he dramatizes the themes of love and money, and the American impact on Japan at the end of the Occupation. --- The title refers not to any one journey, but to life, which traditionally, in Japan, is a journey without destination. Under American influence, the destination has become everything,; in Osaragi's view, the Japanese have become strivers even when, in prosperity, they need no longer strive' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'irō Osaragi, 9 October 1897 - 30 April 1973) was the pen-name of a popular Japanese writer in Shōwa period Japan, known primarily for his historical fiction novels, which appeared serialized in newspapers and magazines. His real name was Kiyohiko Nojiri. Osaragi lived in Kamakura, Kanagawa prefecture from 1921 to his death in 1973. Osaragi was a central figure in Kamakura's literary life, and he also campaigned avidly for the protection of Kamakura's scenic beauty. When housing developers threatened the mountainside behind Kamakura's famous Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū, he banded together with a number of famous writers and artists (including Hideo Kobayashi, Nagai Tatsuo, Yasunari Kawabata, Riichi Yokomitsu, Itō Shinsui, Kiyokata Kaburagi), residing in Kamakura to oppose the development. This led to the foundation of the Japan National Trust, modeled after the National Trust in Great Britain, and which has been successful in preserving the historical ambience of Kamakura and parts of other cities around Japan.'
