Opis

As the literature of change and of the young, science fiction acts as a window on the minds of the young Japanese and to the uneasy alliance of the old and the new traditions therein.

Recenzje

`This book makes for interesting reading as it helps to give the reader some understanding of the way the Japanese mind is changing in the context of the impact of the outside world on Japan.' - Singapore Accountant
