Description
Magnificent collector's edition. Legends of the Sea, Bells, Mirrors and Tea, Japanese mythology is enchanting and enigmatic, full of spirits, gods, and legendary creatures. It references Buddhist and Shinto traditions to explain the nature of the Japanese island world, the mystical Mount Fuji, and the celestial status of the long imperial line. The class of court warriors and the natural spirits of the countryside represent parallel and interconnected aspects of Japanese society, explored through ancient legends and folklore.
Flame Tree collector's editions showcase the foundations of speculative fiction, authors, myths, and stories without which 20th-century imaginative literature would not exist, bringing the most influential, captivating, and iconic works into an impressive and collectible library. Each book features a new introduction and a glossary of terms.
Fascinating titles and a very wide range of authors are synonymous with Flame Tree Publishing.
