The Prize-Winning International Bestseller'I can't help but be moved by a story about women meeting, fighting, helping each other, looking after one another, and raising their voices against the prejudice and criticism they are subject to.' Cho Nam-joo, author of Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982When a mother allows her thirty-something daughter to move into her apartment, she wants for her what many mothers might say they want for their child: a steady income, and, even better, a good husband with a good job with whom to start a family. But when Green turns up with her girlfriend, Lane, in tow, her mother is unprepared and unwilling to welcome Lane into her home. In fact, she can barely bring herself to be civil. Having centred her life on her husband and child, her daughter's definition of family is not one she can accept. Her daughter's involvement in a case of unfair dismissal involving gay colleagues from the university where she works is similarly strange to her. And yet when the care home where she works insists that she lower her standard of care for an elderly dementia patient who has no family, who travelled the world as a successful diplomat, who chose not to have children, Green's mother cannot accept it. Why should not having chosen a traditional life mean that your life is worth nothing at all?In Concerning My Daughter, translated from Korean by Jamie Chang, Kim Hye-jin lays bare our most universal fears on ageing, death, and isolation, to offer finally a paean to love in all its forms.

Kinas nyeste historie såvel indenrigs- som udenrigspolitisk

De dansk-japanske kulturelle forbindelser 1873–1903 beskriver en periode, hvor Japan gennemgik en rivende udvikling, åbnede sig mod resten af verden og selv blev en verdensmagt. Samtidig voksede den danske interesse for Japan voldsomt. Gamle myter om Japan forsvandt og nye opstod i kulturmødet mellem japanere og danskere. Bogen er et omfattende kulturhistorisk værk, der er baseret på grundige studier af og citater fra samtidige kilder. Kilderne består især af rejsebeskrivelser og dagbøger skrevet af danskere, der opholdt sig i Japan i kortere eller længere perioder: Fra Store Nordiske Telegraf-Selskabs udsendte medarbejdere over sømænd, handelsfolk og de første danske turister i Japan til Johannes V. Jensen. Den spænder over vidt forskellige emneområder, såsom litteratur, teater, sprog, antropologi, handel og religion, men fokus er overalt på de enkelte menneskers oplevelse af kulturmøderne. Persongalleriet er omfattende, og historierne er ofte underholdende. Vi hører blandt andet om William Bramsen, der var udsendt som telegrafist af Store Nordiske Telegraf-Selskab og blev Danmarks første japanolog; om danske udsendtes tilfældige møder med den japanske kejser Meiji; om prins Valdemars besøg i Japan i 1899–1900; om Johanne Münter, der var gift med våbenhandleren Balthasar Münter og opholdt sig i Japan fra 1887–1898. Hun udgav flere bøger om Japan, engagerede sig i kvindesagen og fik et dybt og varmt venskab med Ishii Fudeko, en af de mest markante kvinder i Japan i perioden. Vi hører også om japaneres besøg i Danmark, fx om en gruppe japanere, der optrådte i Zoologisk Have i København i 1902. Bogens mange historier belyser og skildrer møder med en fremmed kultur med alle de umiddelbare indtryk og fordomme, den dybfølte fascination og den forståelige forvirring, der følger med. De dansk-japanske kulturelle forbindelser 1873–1903 er anden del af Yoichi Nagashimas store tobindsværk om dansk-japanske kulturelle forbindelser. Den fortsætter, hvor De dansk-japanske kulturelle forbindelser 1600–1873 slap, men kan læses uafhængigt af forgængeren. Yoichi Nagashima, dr.pfil., er professor mso i japansk ved Institut for Tværkulturelle og Regionale Studier, Københavns Universitet.
