Avg Cusomer Rating: 4 Reviews: Summary: Early Spanish Account of the Far East. This book, written by a Spanish author some 400 years ago, should be an interesting source of information on the Far East as it was known to Europeans at that time. Interesting for those with a dedicated passion for the region and the era, otherwise of course a bit hard-going read. Summary: |

The Outnation: A Search for the Soul of Japan

Avg Cusomer Rating: 5 Reviews: Summary: One of the best short books on modern Japan Jonathan Rauch wrote this book more than a decade ago. However, many travelers to Japan still find it one of the best introductions to Japanese society available in English. His profiles of people,places and social mores are insightful as well as elegantly written. Whenever I meet someone on their way to Japan for the first time, I almost reflexively offer them a copy of this fine book. Summary: Beautifully written, insightful This extraordinarily well-written book came out during a time when Americans were told that Japan was invincible, threatening, and a model society. Jonathan Rauch saw a more complex Japan, one with great strengths but also great difficulties, especially in generating criticism and change from within. His portrait has stood the test of time when many acclaimed "experts" now look like fools. Summary: Not worth its weight in green tea The Outnation is full of false statements and huge generalizations that do not ring true for Japan. In many cases they make the country sound better than it is. The author only spent six months in Japan, not nearly long enough to truly come to understand the very complex social fabric of the country. Having lived in Japan, I found the book to be shallow and I couldn't finish reading it because it was full of false statements that demonstrated very clearly how little the author knew about his subject. The Outnation is a very poor book to read for any person who wants to learn about what Japan is truly like. In Japan there are two facets to reality; the tatamae and the honne, the mask and the truth. This book deals almost exclusively with the mask and ignores the true Japan, the true soul of the nation.
