Paperback. Pierre Loti's novel "Madame Chrysantheme" (1888) enjoyed great popularity during the author's lifetime. More broadly, Loti's novel helped define the terms in which Occidentals perceived Japan as delicate, feminine, and, 'preposterous' - in short, ripe for exploitation. Presented as the diary of Chrysantheme, this title retells Loti's story. Num Pages: 112 pages, 16 illustrations. BIC Classification: FC; FYT. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 215 x 139 x 20. Weight in Grams: 227.
