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.

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.

Download or read book The Red Chrysanthemum written by Linda Beutler and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Pride and Prejudice" and the language of flowers... When Fitzwilliam Darcy leaves the inn in Lambton after a tense but fruitful visit with Elizabeth Bennet, her words cultivate his hopes. "Less naturally amiable tempers than Mr Bingley's have found ways to forgive you." Has she excused his flaws of character and errors in judgement? While dining at Pemberley, Elizabeth is confounded when Darcy says of her scent, "Now I find I am more fond of lavender than ever... certainly even more fond of it than I was in, say, April." Has he pardoned her intemperate assault on his pride? As her esteem blossoms into love and his desire flourishes into devotion, the meanings of every leaf and petal allow Elizabeth and Darcy to express emotions too vulnerable to speak aloud. But can messages in fronds and leaflets save their fragile hearts when scandalous news arrives from Longbourn? Perhaps flowers do not always say it best. Join garden writer Linda Beutler (Gardening with Clematis, 2004 and Garden to Vase, 2007) as she plants herself in Jane Austen's most admired novel, bringing her love of all things blooming with her. The gardens at Pemberley may never be the same!
