On its journey seaward it passes through countryside th at has long been at the heart of the Japanese tradition. And it flows too past the mountains and the villages past the dams ditches and rice fields that provide such a richly textured backdrop to this novel. Powerful enough to sweep away people on its banks and placid enough to carry along with its flow a sumptuous wedding procession the River Ki dominates the lives of the people who live in its fertile valley and imparts a vital strength to the three women mother daughter and granddaughter around whom this novel is built. It provides them with the courage to cope in their different ways with the unprecedented changes that occurred in Japan between the last years of the last century and the middle of this century. Sawako Ariyoshi one of Japan's most successful modern novelists describes this social and cultural revolution largely through the eyes of Hana a woman with the vision and integrity to understand the inevitability of the death of the traditional order in Japan. Ariyoshi writes with a love for detail bound to a broader understanding of the importance of the geographical and biological forces that mold her characters--and the result is a story that flows with all the vitality of the River Ki itself."-- dustjacket ; VG/VG Tokyo : Kodansha International ; New York ; San Francisco : distributed in the United States through Harper & Row, 1980. unknown

Even the simplest pedigree knot the trefoil with its three roughly symmetrical lobes has mathematical as well as artistic beauty. For the religious Kind Solomon's knot is said to embody the essence of all knowledge. For carpet makers and cloth weavers all over the world the challenge of the knot lies in the rules of its surprises. Knots can change but they must be well-behaved. An informal knot is a messy knot. Louise and I were held by a single loop of love. The cord passing round our bodies had no sharp twists or sinister turns. Our wrists were not tied and there was no noose about our necks. In Italy in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries a favourite sport was to fasten two fighters together with a strong rope and let t hem beat each other to death. Often it was death because the loser couldn't back off and the victor rarely spared him. The victor kept the rope and tied a knot in it. He had only to swing it through the streets to terrify money from passers-by."--excerpt ; " .chronicles the consuming affair between the narrator who is given neither name nor gender and the beloved a complex and confused married woman" ; black cloth with metallic red lettering in photographic illustrated dustjacket ; FINE/FINE New York : Knopf, 1993. hardcover

It is a book with a very broad appeal for its pages give a picture of the thoughts and fears common to everyone who has ever worn a uniform no matter what role heroic or otherwise he may have played in war. Beach Red may be called a pre-view to action rather than a realistic record. It can best be interpreted as a study of all the things that run through a soldier's mind during days of training or on lonely nights in barracks or aboard a transport going East or West. And it reveals the seldom confessed truth--that everyone who goes to war lives through a thousand battles and dies a thousand deaths.Its style which is split prose rather than verse has the staccato flow of introspective thought."--essay ; Signature of John Ransom Lewis the Poet Laureate of Georgia on the front endpaper ; G New York : Random House, 1945. hardcover

But ranged against them were the faster ships of England led by the queen's distant cousin Lord Howard and such daring and resourceful 'sea dogs' as Hawkins Drake and Frobisher."--dustjacket ; numerous illustrations feature maps portraits and depictions of the battles and armaments ; G/FAIR Cleveland ; New York : The World Publishing Company, 1965. hardcover
