About this deal

She became aware of the pervasive silence, a horizontal silence, pure and incomprehensible— it makes no sense, she thought. Rose awakens jet-lagged in the Kyoto home of her late father, a Japanese art dealer she never met, where she has arrived for the reading of his will. I can imagine some lazy critics (the kind who only read the back cover and/or the opening chapter) dismissing A Single Rose as a Gallic version of Eat, Pray, Love . As Paul guides Rose along a mysterious itinerary designed by her deceased father, her bitterness and anger are soothed by the stones and the trees in the Zen gardens they move through.

The translation is clumsy, cliché-ridden and crass, offering a reading experience which does not even begin to compare with the original. It is the same phrase, repeated perfectly in each iteration and It is much shorter than the other lines of the poem. At only 160 pages, this is one to take your time with, and savor not only the lovely prose, but the story itself. This tour was pre-arranged by her father and through this tour, Rose learns more about her father and his love of Japan and his philosophies. For those who share a similar fascination with French and/or Japanese culture, A Single Rose is essential reading - and for those looking to rediscover or reassess the joy of life, it makes an equally compelling case.One of the things I've noticed, and grown to appreciate, about my love of French culture is the way I'm more prepared to indulge and explore different genres. Ce roman est un bingo pour touriste esthète : les jardins japonais, la caligraphie, l'ikebana, la cérémonie du thé et le matcha, les temples de Kyoto dont les très connus temple d'Argent, Koto-in Ryoan-ji, Nanzen-ji, le temple des mousses, etc. Este libro nos cuenta la historia de Rose que acaba de fallecer su papá que nunca conoció, pero él la dejó con una herencia y ella tiene que viajar a Japón por eso mismo. A charming climber with large, flat, semi-double flowers in flamingo pink, each bloom with an apricot-yellow eye and conspicuous red stamens.

Esto no s�� lo que ha sido, fue como un huracán, que se me adentro completamente, que pedazo de lectura, que manera de relatar emociones, sentimientos, pasiones.The copious use of flowery imagery together with Barbery’s failure to show rather than tell will leave many readers disappointed.
