This book combines six autobiographical novels by the Belgian writer, covering episodes from her childhood, adolescence, living in the East, and several trips to Japan where she faces their delirious business world, reunites with the nanny who cared for her as a child, and journeys to Mount Fuji. / Hija de diplomático, Amélie Nothomb pasó buena parte de su niñez en Oriente. De ahí le quedó una pasión por Japón mezcla de deslumbramiento y encontronazo, de fascinación por una cultura y choque con unas pautas sociales desquiciantes y humillantes. Este libro reúne seis novelas autobiográficas de la escritora belga, en las que evoca episodios de su infancia y adolescencia –la crueldad, la inocencia, el desconcierto, el hambre de conocer– vividas en Oriente, y también varios viajes de regreso a Japón en los que se enfrenta al delirante mundo empresarial nipón, al amor de un joven ávido lector de Stendhal, al reencuentro con la niñera que la cuidó cuando era niña, a recorridos que la llevan del bullicioso Tokio a Hiroshima y al espiritual Monte Fuji.
