Download or read book The Chrysanthemum and the Rose written by Russell Watson and published by . This book was released on 2014-08-06 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain and Japan have much in common. This book explores both the parallels and the differences then goes on to outline some of the reasons that lie behind them. It also highlights many myths and stereotypes that surround both countries. Many aspects of Japanese and British history are similar. This is especially true in the manner that both absorbed successive waves of ideas and influences from the mainland. They then adapted these to suit their respective cultures. This is erroneously regarded by some as being unique to Japan.Other writers before me have compared the UK and Japan but this book is an attempt to take that one step further. A variety of topics from literature and marriage to history and politics are covered. It is my hope that this book will be a bridge to a deeper understanding of both cultures.

Download or read book The Chrysanthemum Palace written by Bruce Wagner and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chrysanthemum Palace introduces Bertie Krohn, the only child of Perry Krohn, creator of TV's longest running space opera, Starwatch: The Navigators (which counts Jennifer Aniston and Donald Rumsfeld among its obsessed fans). Bertie recounts the story of the last months in the lives of his two companions: Thad Michelet, author, actor, and son of a literary titan; and Clea Freemantle, emotionally fragile daughter of a legendary movie star, long dead. Scions of entertainment greatness, they call themselves the Three Musketeers; between them, as Bertie says, "there was more than enough material to bring psychoanalysis back into vogue." As the incestuous clique attempts to scale the peaks claimed by their sacred yet monstrous parents over a two-week filming of a Starwatch episode in which they costar, Bertie scrupulously chronicles their highs and lows -- as well as their futile struggles against the ravenous, narcissistic, Convulsive and poignant, The Chrysanthemum Palace is a tragic tale of friendship and fate writ large -- a tour de force by a major writer whose narrative delivers devastating emotional impact.
