About this product
Product Information
Pierre Loti's novel Madame Chrysanth me (1888) enjoyed great popularity during the author's lifetime, served as a source of Puccini's opera Madama Butterfly, and remains in print to this day as a classic in Western literature. Loti's story, cast in the form of his fictionalized diary, describes the affair between a French naval officer and Chrysanth me, a temporary bride purchased in Nagasaki. More broadly, Loti's novel helped define the terms in which Occidentals perceived Japan as delicate, feminine, and, to use one of Loti's favorite words, preposterous--in short, ripe for exploitation. The Pink Notebook of Madame Chrysanth me (1893) sought, according to a newspaper reviewer at the time, to avenge Japan for the adjectives that Pierre Loti has inflicted on it. Written by F lix R gamey, a talented illustrator with firsthand knowledge of Japan, The Pink Notebook retells Loti's story but this time as the diary of Chrysanth me. The book, presented here in English for the first time and together with the original French text and illustrations by R gamey and others, is certainly surprising in its late nineteenth-century context. Its retelling of a classic tale from the position of a character marginalized by her sex and race provocatively anticipates certain aspects of postmodern literature. Translator Christopher Reed's rich and satisfying introduction compares Loti and R gamey in relation to attitudes toward Japan held by notable Japonistes Vincent van Gogh, Lafcadio Hearn, Edmond de Goncourt, and Philippe Burty. Reed provides further intellectual context by including new translations of excerpts from Loti's novel as well as a portion of the travel journal of R gamey's travel companion, the renowned collector Emile Guimet. Reed's emphasis on competing Western ideas about Japan challenges conventional scholarly generalizations concerning Japanism in this era. This elegant translation of The Pink Notebook and Japoniste documents will delight both general and specialized readers, particularly those interested in the ambiguities in the dynamics of nationalism, gender, identification, and exploitation that, since the nineteenth century, have characterized the West's relationship to Japan.
