The Crab Cannery Ship and Other Novels of Struggle
Author: Kobayashi Takiji
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 0824837908
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
This collection introduces the work of Japan’s foremost Marxist writer, Kobayashi Takiji (1903–1933), to an English-speaking audience, providing access to a vibrant, dramatic, politically engaged side of Japanese literature that is seldom seen outside Japan. The volume presents a new translation of Takiji’s fiercely anticapitalist Kani kōsen—a classic that became a runaway bestseller in Japan in 2008, nearly eight decades after its 1929 publication. It also offers the first-ever translations of Yasuko and Life of a Party Member, two outstanding works that unforgettably explore both the costs and fulfillments of revolutionary activism for men and women. The book features a comprehensive introduction by Komori Yōichi, a prominent Takiji scholar and professor of Japanese literature at Tokyo University.

Empire of Light

Publisher: K.J. Jackson
ISBN: 1940149894
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Light and Dark, we were never meant to work, much less thrive. I betray him. He betrays me. It was always going to end this way. And it did—in a grotesquely spectacular implosion of our lives, of his castle. So I’ve been on the run from Damen for four years. Four years before he finds me. Captures me. Drags me back to his castle with bloody vengeance searing in his eyes. He’s still the king of heathens, but just barely. His empire is slipping out of his hands and I’m the reason why. Now I’m back in the devil’s lair and he’s still obsessed with impregnating me. Still a master of seduction. And I don’t know if I have it in me to deny him, or if I should even try. A king needs a queen, after all… Empire of Light is the explosive second half of the Creatures of Sin & Seduction duet. It's a dark fantasy romance with forbidden love, steam to make your toes curl, multiple POV, mythological tales and legends, fated mates, amazing powers, morally-grey choices, twists, cliffhangers, a kick-butt heroine, and an I-will-burn-the-earth-to-ash-for-her hero. It contains mature language, graphic violence, and explicit content. This is the second book in the Creatures of Sin and Seduction duet. Please read at your own discretion.
