Angry White Pyjamas
Author: Robert Twigger
Publisher: Weidenfeld & Nicolson
ISBN: 0297863894
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
A brilliant and captivating insight into the bizarre nature of contemporary Japan. Adrift in Tokyo, teaching giggling Japanese highschool girls how to pronounce Tennyson correctly, Robert Twigger came to a revelation about himself: he'd never been fit. In a bid to escape the cockroach infestation and sweaty squalor of a cramped apartment in Fuji Heights, Twigger sets out to cleanse his body and his mind. Not knowing his fist from his elbow the author is sucked into the world of Japanese martial arts, and the brutally demanding course of budo training taken by the Tokyo Riot Police, where any ascetic motivation soon comes up against blood-stained dogis and fractured collarbones. In Angry White Pyjamas Robert Twigger skilfully blends the ancient with the modern - the ultra-traditionalism, ritual and violence of the dojo (training academy) with the shopping malls, nightclubs and scenes of everyday Tokyo life in the twenty-first century - to provide an entertaining and captivating glimpse of contemporary Japan.

Dying To Be Born Again
Author: Steve Smith
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1499021895
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 67
Book Description
This story starts at the beginning. When a new baby is born we all expect it to be a little angel; it has daddy's eyes, it has mamas nose. The fact of the matter is a little demon as just been born. All this baby knows is in its DNA. So whether it's good or bad. No one knows at this time. This child learns from what it sees at home from what it hears and the actions of those around it, friends and relatives give this child different sets of rules, this child is impressionable and therefore it is what it's made. On the first day of school, this child realized that it could not have everything it wanted. If the child had learned to share the first day of school would have been a lot different. But as it is a little six-year-old boy had something I wanted, what I wanted was the desk, where he was seated. Like I said I had not learned to share, so I took that desk from that little boy, and it was a little violent, so I got to go to see the principal.

Cesare Pavese and Antonio Chiuminatto
Author: Mark Pietralunga
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487586655
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Italian poet, novelist, literary critic and translator Cesare Pavese (1908-1950) is generally recognized as one of the most important writers of his period. Between the years 1929 and 1933, Pavese enjoyed a rich correspondence with his Italian American friend, the musician and educator Antonio Chiuminatto (1904-1973). The nature of this correspondence is primarily related to Pavese's thirst to learn about American culture, its latest books, its most significant contemporary writers, as well as its slang. This volume presents an annotated edition of Pavese and Chiminatto's complete epistolary exchange. Mark Pietralunga's brilliant introduction provides historical and cultural context for the letters and traces Pavese's early development as a leading Americanist and translator. The volume also includes an appendix of Chiuminatto's detailed annotations and thorough explanations of colloquial American terms and slang, drawn from the works of Sinclair Lewis, Sherwood Anderson, and William Faulkner. A lively and illuminating exchange, this collection ultimately corroborates critical opinion that America was the igniting spark of Pavese's literary beginnings as a writer and translator.
