Omschrijving

Laurentia: A Tale of Japan is a novel written by Georgiana Fullerton and originally published in 1861. The story is set in Japan and follows the life of a young girl named Laurentia, who is half-Japanese and half-English. Laurentia is raised by her Japanese mother, but after her mother's death, she is sent to live with her English relatives in England. The novel explores themes of cultural identity, family, and love. Laurentia struggles to find her place in both Japanese and English culture, and her relationships with her family members are complicated by cultural differences. She falls in love with a young Englishman named Arthur, but their relationship is threatened by societal expectations and the disapproval of their families. Throughout the novel, Fullerton provides vivid descriptions of Japanese culture and customs, as well as the English society of the time. The book also touches on issues of imperialism and colonialism, as Japan was beginning to open up to the Western world during the 19th century. Overall, Laurentia: A Tale of Japan is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a unique perspective on cultural identity and the challenges faced by those who straddle multiple cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
