A vivid, deeply researched work of history that explores the life of an unconventional woman during the first half of the 19th century in Edo--the city that would become Tokyo--and a portrait of a great city on the brink of a momentous encounter with the West. The daughter of a Buddhist priest, Tsuneno was born in a rural Japanese village and was expected to live a traditional life much like her mother's. But after three divorces--and a temperament much too strong-willed for her family's approval--she ran away to make a life for herself in one of the largest cities in the world: Edo, a bustling metropolis at its peak. With Tsuneno as our guide, we experience the drama and excitement of Edo just prior to the arrival of American Commodore Perry's fleet, which transformed Japan. During this pivotal moment in Japanese history, Tsuneno bounces from tenement to tenement, marries a masterless samurai, and eventually enters the service of a famous city magistrate. Tsuneno's life provides a window into 19th-century Japanese culture--and a rare view of an extraordinary woman who sacrificed her family and her reputation to make a new life for herself, in defiance of social conventions. Immersive and fascinating, Stranger in the Shogun's City is a revelatory work of history, layered with rich detail and delivered with beautiful prose, about the life of a woman, a city, and a culture.

喜欢作者优雅、流畅又清晰的文笔(rare among historians)。本来以为这是作者功成名就之后的sided project,没想到竟是作者从博士论文期间就开始孜孜研习的对象(对作者所言的从事手稿字迹辨认的难处狠狠共情了)。作为读者,除了叹服于作者在巨量的家庭书信中read between lines和close reading的能力,更加敬佩的是她作为史家审慎的精神和克制的推断(尤其是... 喜欢作者优雅、流畅又清晰的文笔(rare among historians)。本来以为这是作者功成名就之后的sided project,没想到竟是作者从博士论文期间就开始孜孜研习的对象(对作者所言的从事手稿字迹辨认的难处狠狠共情了)。作为读者,除了叹服于作者在巨量的家庭书信中read between lines和close reading的能力,更加敬佩的是她作为史家审慎的精神和克制的推断(尤其是在近期《惹作》这样不负责任的写作的映照下)。就算是Tsuneno这样留下大量书信的女性,在还原与推测她的生命历程时,作者也承认这总是”full of ‘maybes’ and ‘might haves.”承认书写对象/历史主体的声音无法被完全还原,而不是代人言之,才是对他们自我表达的真正尊重。 (展开)

当成小说看,文笔和情节刻画都属实一般,没法和那些五星的好书比,当成历史看,但是可以眼前一亮,如何坚持史学家求真的底线同时加上合理化的想象。

2024年读完的第一本书;不得不说我近期看过的几位美国作家写的北朝鲜,日本江户时期,中国有关的著作,每本都是让人佩服文学功底可以跨越语言的障碍。
