Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Madam Izan: A Tourist Story is a novel written by Australian author Rosa Praed, also known as Mrs. Campbell Praed. The book was first published in 1899 and is set in Japan during the late 19th century. The story follows the adventures of a group of tourists, including the titular character Madam Izan, as they explore the country and its culture.Madam Izan is a mysterious and enigmatic figure who captures the attention of the other tourists with her beauty and charm. She is accompanied by her loyal servant, a young Japanese woman named O-Yumi. As the group travels through Japan, they encounter a variety of interesting characters and situations, including a samurai warrior, a geisha girl, and a group of bandits.Throughout the novel, Praed explores themes of cultural difference and the clash between Eastern and Western values. The tourists are often baffled by the customs and traditions of Japan, and struggle to understand the motivations of the people they encounter. Madam Izan, however, seems to have a deep understanding and appreciation of Japanese culture, and serves as a guide and interpreter for the other characters.As the story unfolds, secrets are revealed and alliances are tested, leading to a dramatic and unexpected conclusion. Praed's vivid descriptions of Japan and its people, as well as her insights into the complexities of human relationships, make Madam Izan: A Tourist Story a fascinating and engaging read.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
