Klappentext zu „Shonagon, S: Pillow Book “
I am the sort of person who approves of what others abhor and detests the things they like' The Pillow Book is a collection of vignettes, poems, lists and anecdotes written by a lady-in-waiting at the Court of the Japanese Empress around one thousand years ago. It covers subjects as diverse as the beauty of the dawn in spring, the correct way to address servants, and how annoying it is when a drunk man turns up in the middle of the night expecting to be fed.
For the modern reader, this book belongs as it was written: on the bedside table, to be consulted for wit, wisdom and insight. It is both a thrilling glimpse into a lost world and an account of one remarkable woman's thoughts, ideas, dreams and desires.
