Images of Table Mountain is a visual description of the
inequalities that exists between the different races that reside in
Cape Town with Table Mountain as the on characteristic that they
all have in common. Images of Table Mountain depicts the vast
differences between Capetonians as well as their interrelations.
The black and white images strongly depict the difference in the
lifestyles and class of Capetonians. Irrespective of whether Lurie
captures a well-heeled white European family lunching at the
Waterfront, or a black African woman passing a cash store in Langa,
what matters is the photographer's ability to level these worlds.

The Cambridge History of Japanese Literature provides, for the
first time, a history of Japanese literature with comprehensive
coverage of the premodern and modern eras in a single volume. The
book is arranged topically in a series of short, accessible
chapters for easy access and reference, giving insight into both
canonical texts and many lesser known, popular genres, from
centuries-old folk literature to the detective fiction of modern
times. The various period introductions provide an overview of
recurrent issues that span many decades, if not centuries. The book
also places Japanese literature in a wider East Asian tradition of
Sinitic writing and provides comprehensive coverage of women's
literature as well as new popular literary forms, including manga
(comic books). An extensive bibliography of works in English
enables readers to continue to explore this rich tradition through
translations and secondary reading.
