Autumn Light af Pico Iyer
Bag om Autumn Light

We cherish things, Japan has always known, precisely because they cannot last; it's their frailty that adds sweetness to their beauty. Returning to his home in Japan after his father-in-law's sudden death, Pico Iyer soon picks up the steadying patterns of his everyday rites: going to the post office in the day and engaging in spirited games of ping-pong in the evenings. But in a country whose calendar is marked with occasions honouring the dead, he soon finds himself grappling with the question we all have to live with: how to hold on to the things we love even though we know that they - and we - are dying. As the maple leaves begin to turn and the heat starts to soften, Iyer shows us a Japan we have seldom seen before through the season that reminds us to take nothing for granted.

Beskrivelse af Autumn Light

We cherish things, Japan has always known, precisely because they cannot last; it's their frailty that adds sweetness to their beauty.

Returning to his home in Japan after his father-in-law's sudden death, Pico Iyer soon picks up the steadying patterns of his everyday rites: going to the post office in the day and engaging in spirited games of ping-pong in the evenings. But in a country whose calendar is marked with occasions honouring the dead, he soon finds himself grappling with the question we all have to live with: how to hold on to the things we love even though we know that they - and we - are dying.

As the maple leaves begin to turn and the heat starts to soften, Iyer shows us a Japan we have seldom seen before through the season that reminds us to take nothing for granted.

Brugerbedømmelser af Autumn Light

  • Tina P. 12. marts 2021

    En helt fantastisk bog, der på bedste vis gav mig indblik i japansk kultur samtidig med at jeg "mødte" mennesker og fik indblik i deres hverdags- kærligheds- og familieliv.
    Vi mennesker har mere tilfælles end man måske skulle tro!
    - og så fik jeg personligt en ekstra fornøjelse og udfordring ved, at læse bogen på engelsk.
