«Crònica japonesa» is Nicolas Bouvier's travelogue, published by Brau Edicions in paperback (224 pages, in Catalan).
After a long journey through Asia, Nicolas Bouvier arrives in Japan fascinated by a country marked by recent war and social change. Facing a Japan in transformation, Bouvier seeks out places where the trace of the past remains, above all Kyoto and the island of Hokkaido, and offers an intimate view with historical and mythological references.
The subtitle of the work is «Per terres del sol ixent a cor obert» and the book is volume 7 of the Ulyssus collection. The translation is by M. Lourdes Terradas Iglesias.
For readers of travel literature and for those seeking a personal view of postwar Japan.
Nicolas Bouvier was a 20th-century Swiss traveller, writer, picture editor and photographer. He studied in Geneva in the 1950s and lived there later between his travels.
