Intriguing. It’s rare to see historical fiction based on the Mongol era, from the Muslim/Persian perspective, and I love the artwork. I’ve read vol 1&2 and look forward to reading more |

I read the abridged version of this in Japanese. Even so, and with basic understanding of Chinese history, I had a hard time with names. There are so many characters, and we also need to pay attention to the locations. So why would someone today want ...more |

“Unending Love
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times...
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain,
It's ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time.
You become an image of what is remembered forever.
You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers,
Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting,
the distressful tears of farewell,
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.
Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man's days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours -
And the songs of every poet past and forever.”
― Selected Poems

Thank you very much for your friend request, Akemi. I am ecstatic to see your love and understanding of Japanese lit. I am still a neophyte in it but I have great enthusiasm and I bet we will have wonderful discussions about books, life and other interesting matters. I notice you mentioned Shakespeare as one of your fav writers. Another match. I have "The Tale of the Genji" spotted out and your response encourages me to tackle it sooner than later.
