Its moments of pathos and joy unfold against the forbidding and beautiful landscape of northeastern Minnesota, as the author confronts questions that transcend the particulars of his experience. At once humorous and philosophical, rich with anecdotes and allusions, this is a book about death and renewal and a search for meaning along nature' 606 $aUnited States Local History$2HILCC 606 $aRegions & Countries - Americas$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aUnited States Local History 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Americas 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 676 $a977.6 700 $aLeschak$b Peter M$01048623 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457404603321 996 $aSeeing the Raven$92477034 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03446oam 2200697I 450 001 9910791121403321 005 20230207232547.0 010 $a1-136-97051-7 010 $a1-136-97052-5 010 $a1-282-62954-9 010 $a9786612629549 010 $a0-203-85159-5 024 7 $a10.4324/9780203851593 035 $a(CKB)2560000000010083 035 $a(EBL)534232 035 $a(OCoLC)642661676 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000428997 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11323192 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000428997 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10443224 035 $a(PQKB)11332965 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC534232 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL534232 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10394452 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL262954 035 $a(OCoLC)645429798 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000010083 100 $a20180706d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe strong and the weak in Japanese literature $ediscrimination, egalitarianism, nationalism /$fFuminobu Murakami 210 1$aMilton Park, Abingdon ;$aNew York :$cRoutledge,$d2010. 215 $a1 online resource (206 p.) 225 1 $aRoutledge advances in Asia-Pacific studies ;$v11 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-138-86289-4 311 $a0-415-57386-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aBook Cover; Title; Copyright; Contents; Preface; 1 Introduction; 2 The strong and the weak in Japanese religious, philosophical and political writings; 3 Ugly ladies in The Tale of Genji; 4 Women, humble men and insulted people in The Tale of the Heike; 5 Sacrifice and revenge, love and war, and a world without violence in The Eight Dog Chronicles; 6 Dancing girl, geisha, mistress and wife in Kawabata Yasunari's stories: The Dancing Girl of Izu, Snow Country, Thousand Cranes and The Sound of the Mountain; 7 Conclusion; Notes; Bibliography; Index 330 $aThis book uses texts from classical to modern Japanese literature to examine concepts of 'respect for the strong', as a notion of an evolutionary society, and 'sympathy for the weak', as a notion of a non-violent and changeless egalitarian society. The term strong refers not just to those with strength and power. It also includes other ideal attributes such as beauty, youth and goodness. Similarly, the term weak implies not only the weak and infirm, but also the disadvantaged, the indecent, the unsophisticated and those generally shunned by society.
