Detalji o proizvodu
- A hilarious story of one man’s obsession and a brilliant reckoning of a nation’s cultural confusion—from a master Japanese novelist. When twenty-eight-year-old Joji first lays eyes upon the teenage waitress Naomi, he is instantly smitten by her exotic, almost Western appearance. Determined to transform her into the perfect wife and to whisk her away from the seamy underbelly of post-World War I Tokyo, Joji adopts and ultimately marries Naomi, paying for English and music lessons that promise to mold her into his ideal companion. But as she grows older, Joji discovers that Naomi is far from the naïve girl of his fantasies. And, in Tanizaki’s masterpiece of lurid obsession, passion quickly descends into comically helpless masochism.

Satire Editorial Review
**** "Naomi" by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki is a captivating dive into the interplay of obsession, cultural identity, and personal transformation set against the backdrop of 1920s Japan. The narrative follows Joji, a socially awkward engineer, who becomes fixated on Naomi, a young waitress with appealing, Westernized features. What starts as Joji’s paternalistic desire to mold Naomi into the embodiment of his Western ideals quickly spirals into a complex and twisted power dynamic. The narrative is rich in its exploration of the shifting perceptions between East and West, and how these cultural influences manifest in personal relationships. As Joji attempts to cultivate Naomi into his vision of perfection, the relationship morphs, revealing a darker side to his obsession. Naomi, initially seen as a subject of Joji's manipulations, flourishingly asserts her own dominance, turning the tables on him. The resulting dynamic is both darkly humorous and painfully realistic, highlighting the futility of trying to control another person. Readers familiar with Tanizaki's works will find "Naomi" an essential precursor to his later explorations of similar themes. The novel is immersive, challenging, and, at times, disturbing, akin to a Japanese "Lolita." Its straightforward Prose and intricate character development invite readers to contemplate deeper issues of desire, control, and cultural identity. For anyone looking to delve beyond conventional narratives, this novel is a rich and rewarding experience. **
