A Single Rose

Product Information

Paul explains to her that, from the moment she was born, Haru was determined: "to leave his daughter with a legacy that would provide solace" -- and that's what his carefully planned out last will and testament routine amounts to. Rose has just turned forty when she gets a call from a lawyer asking her to come to Kyoto for the reading of her estranged father’s will. And so for the first time in her life she finds herself in Japan, where Paul, her father’s assistant, is waiting to greet her. Este libro fue un gran sorpresa, sinceramente no es el tipo de libro que suelo leer, entonces cuando lo empecé (porque fue un ejemplar que me envió la editorial). No tenía ningún tipo de expectativa del libro, incluso pensé que no me iba a gustar, por que no es del tipo de libro que suelo leer.

What's the point of trying, since we're in prison ?"Alas, dad is intent on breaking her out, even from beyond the grave, -- and, in assistant Paul, has the ideal vessel to do so. Barbery prefaces each chapter with a folk story/fable that is reflected in some aspect of the narrative that follows it. There is a surfeit of symbolism, often presented in virtually impenetrable passages which might appeal to the more cerebral reader. Or perhaps this is a product of the translation. The copious use of flowery imagery together with Barbery’s failure to show rather than tell will leave many readers disappointed. Not Barbery’s best work. Pues bien, la prosa la he encontrado, sin embargo, esta vez me ha parecido excesiva, se me ha hecho hasta pesada y rimbombante. Hubo un momento en el libro que hasta pensé que me había equivocado y no estaba ambientado en la actualidad por el lenguaje utilizado, no salí de dudas hasta que apareció la palabra “móvil” y me confirmó que la época era la actual.

Below, we are going to talk about a single rose meaning. But the single rose bud meaning is the innocent love. It also tells the significant great future of love along with the purity inside. The meaning according to the rose’s color It's effective and engaging, Rose's voyage of discovery an appealing tour that is a bit heavy on an idealized Japan but tosses in enough of those discordant edges. Sa manière d’écrire insolite, et qu’elle qualifie elle-même de désordonnée, ne lui fait pas penser qu’elle se lancerait un jour dans la fabuleuse aventure qu'est la sienne. This book is not an easy book to read, as it’s full of imagery and beautiful description. But, it’s a wonderful story, set in a beautiful location so it’s worth reading. I did enjoy this book, even when reading through the passages of description slowed me down a bit.

Japanese reserve and ritual is here also nicely coupled with some disarming (often alcohol-induced) frankness in how she is dealt with by those who knew Haru. She has to face and come to terms with her own, so long unlived -- in any meaningful way -- life, and is given the opportunity to reach out and seize this second chance. Plant-life does not get short shrift, either, however -- though it generally also comes with a distinctive Japanese spin, right down to Haru's observation that: "the world is like a cherry tree one has not looked at for three days".) Esto no s�� lo que ha sido, fue como un huracán, que se me adentro completamente, que pedazo de lectura, que manera de relatar emociones, sentimientos, pasiones.Maybe life is no more than a picture you can see from behind a tree. We are offered life as a whole, but we can only see it through a succession of viewpoints. Depression makes you blind to perspectives. Life as a whole crushes you”. Jediná ruža je kniha o hľadaní domova, šťastia, o koreňoch, sebaspoznávaní, ale aj o smútku, láske a japonskej kultúre. Muriel Barbery na moje prekvapenie stavila tentoraz o niečo viac na romantiku ako na filozofovanie a aj tej irónie bolo pomenej. Kým S elegenciou ježka potešila človeka hľadajúceho hĺbku a jemný humor, Jediná ruža bude pre širšie publikum, uspokojí myslím aj čitateľky túžiace po príbehu lásky a jej estetika a pokoj dýchajúci z japonských reálií vás aj napriek ufrflanej hlavnej hrdinke naladí do pohody. Muriel Barbery miluje Japonsko, čo som cítila už v jej predchádzajúcej knihe, fascinuje ju tak veľmi, že sa tam s manželom dokonca usadili. Jej vášeň pre túto krajinu prebleskuje na každej strane. She embarks on a tour of Kyoto’s Zen gardens pre-choreographed by her father, chauffeured by his personal driver, and guided by his chief of staff, a Belgian art dealer named Paul who will become central to the story. In the days leading to the mysterious reading of the will, so begins Rose’s interior transformation. “She observed the tatami mats, the paper panels, the window opening onto branches in the sun, the crumpled peony; finally, she observed herself, as if she were a stranger she had met only the day before.” She long shows an agreeably -- dare one say, Japanese -- delicate touch, but her bigger picture tosses any subtlety by the wayside - a shame, because she otherwise shows the potential to craft a more nuanced, resonant tale.
