Hardback. Zustand: Good. The tragic true story of Japan's Crown Princess-with a new afterword by the author. It's the fantasy of many young women: marry a handsome prince, move into a luxurious palace, and live happily ever after. But that's not how it turned out for Masako Owada. Ben Hills's fascinating portrait of Princess Masako and the Chrysanthemum Throne draws on research in Tokyo and rural Japan, at Oxford and Harvard, and from more than sixty interviews with Japanese, American, British, and Australian sources-many of whom have never spoken publicly before-shedding light on the royal family's darkest secrets, secrets that can never be openly discussed in Japan because of the reverence in which the emperor and his family are held. But most of all, this is a story about a love affair that went tragically wrong. The paperback edition will contain a new afterword by the author, discussing the impact this book had in Japan, where it was banned.…

Sni o tom mnoho mladych zen: vdat se za krasneho prince, prestehovat se do nadherneho palace a pak zit stastne az do smrti. Ale zivot Masako Owadove, zcela moderni zeny, ktera se dostala do stretu s prastarym systemem, se vyvinul jinak. 'Princezna Masako', nahlizejici do tajemneho sveta japonske cisarske rodiny, kam vstup je dusledne odpiran, vypravi o tom, jakemu tlaku byla princezna vystavena ze strany Uradu cisarske rezidence, aby dala zivot muzskemu dedici a zachranila tak nejstarsi kralovskou dynastii sveta pred vymrenim. Odhaluje, jak zasahlo jeji nestastny zivot, kdyz jeji svagrova, princezna Kiko, porodila muzskeho potomka, i veskere nadeje, ze by se jeji dcera, mala Aiko, snad jednou mohla stat vladnouci cisarovnou Japonska.
