Book excerpt: Bonsai for Men, is a not entirely serious bonsai guide for men. Of course, women are also welcome to read this book. Finding inner peace has become almost impossible and a luxury in this day and age. This book aims to show what bonsai can do to us. Since men always know the way, only to go around the block the wrong way three times, this book was written. The non-fiction book for beginners to Japanese gardening, it succinctly describes all the topics man of the world needs to know about bonsai. From a brief introduction to bonsai history to repotting and watering, the most common topics are covered. But it also shows what is behind the term "Suiseki" and "Penjing". This bonsai book for men, however, is intended to be more than the usual guidebook on these special potted plants. It is also meant to make you think about the great meaning of bonsai. It is not just about chipping away at trees, but about finding inner peace with oneself. Bonsai can offer all this if you understand what is important. You enter into a partnership with the little trees, committing yourself to looking after them, protecting them and caring for them. If we don't, the tree dies. If we do it right, our care is for a certain period of time and then the next generation takes care of the bonsai once we die. So we are only guests, so to speak, and are allowed to accompany the tree for a while and shape it. Bonsai for Men also points out that we should occupy ourselves with being receptive again in order to observe. This also has something to do with bonsai and is often underestimated. As meditative as a walk in the forest can be, it is also important to observe the bonsai. In today's fast-paced society, technology generally plays a higher role than nature. With Bonsai for Men, you get an insight into a new world of small trees. So if you are looking for a bonsai book for men, if you are interested in a non-fiction book and guidebook that will take you into the world of small trees and make you laugh and smile a little, then you definitely need this book.

Download or read book Bonsai written by Alejandro Zambra and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Sublime . . . true and beautiful and moving.” —The New York Times Book Review The landmark first novel of one of the greatest living Latin American writers—now in a sparkling new translation by his longtime collaborator When it was first published in 2006, then-literary critic and poet Alejandro Zambra’s first novel, Bonsai, caused a sensation. “It was said,” according to Chile’s newspaper of record, El Mercurio, “that it represented the end of an era, or the beginning of another, in the nation’s letters.” Zambra would go on to become a writer of international renown, winning prizes in Chile and around the world for his funny, tender, sly fictions. Here, in a brilliant new translation from four-time International Booker Prize nominee Megan McDowell, is the little book that started it all: The story of Julio and Emilia, two Chilean university students who, seeking truth in great literature, find one another instead. As they fall together and drift apart over the course of young adulthood, Zambra spins an emotionally engrossing, expertly distilled, formally inventive tale of love, art, and memory.

Book excerpt: What's at stake when a woman from Michigan-who's always stood out at six feet tall-tries to fit in on a remote island in Japan? Stacy Gleiss's captivating memoir answers just that. After a childhood defined by a horrific car accident, Gleiss spends years trying to regain a sense of identity; eventually making her way across the globe where she falls in love with the enchanting culture of Japan. But as Gleiss becomes increasingly immersed in the Japanese way of life-first as a teenage bride and then as a mother-she discovers this faraway land isn't as perfect as she first imagined. The Six-Foot Bonsai goes behind closed doors in a traditional Japanese family during the 1980s and '90s, uncovering harsh truths. Gleiss must learn how to transform herself into the ideal Japanese housewife in a culture that holds females to particularly high standards. At the same time, a shocking revelation about her husband tests everything Gleiss once thought she believed in. A detailed look at the Japanese traditions of marriage, womanhood, and child exploitation, The Six-Foot Bonsai is an intimate account of what it's like to discover a new place while also discovering yourself. "Only someone like Stacy Gleiss, once immersed in a mysterious, all-encompassing, and nearly-cultic culture, could write a book with the authenticity and heart of The Six-Foot Bonsai . Her vulnerability to the aching losses of everything she loved, described dispassionately and with great detail, paves the way for a surprising redemption in the end."Dr. Latayne C.
