It is with great pleasure and emotion to present this captivating book, about real events from Europe, around 1920, written with love by Sophia Dediu. This book is based on Sophia's discussions with Ana, and it is dedicated to our beloved Ana. There is no doubt that this unique book, with so vivid descriptions, which reminds us of Mark Twain and Victor Hugo, will have a visible place in the English literary universe, on both sides of the Atlantic.

After the notable success of the first book "The life and its torrents - Ana. In Europe around 1920," it is a great pleasure to present this remarkable second book, written by the well-regarded writer Sophia Dediu. This book is a marvelous introduction to the very complex, fascinating and not yet well-known country and culture of Japan. It is an information-rich book, which gives a powerful new image of Japan and of its mysteries, with a language which is clear, direct, gentle, and sometimes philosophical, and it will have, together with the first book, a distinctive place in the English literary environment.
