Il monaco e la signora: una stagione a Kyoto di Pico Iyer

Una storia d'amore sullo sfondo di un paese che malgrado la modernità conserva intatta la propria vocazione spirituale e filosofica. In chiave autobiografica Iyer ci narra di un itinerario in Giappone, delle soste nei monasteri buddisti e dell'incontro con Sachico, vivace e colta. Tutta la forza di questo romanzo sta nelle delicate descrizioni di paesaggi e di stati d'animo, soprattutto la capacità dell'autore di trasmetterci l'infinito struggimento davanti allo sfiorire dei sogni.
