After a first collection about Thailand, Toan Nguyen, a poetry lover, invites us to Japan with a travel story illustrated by poems in verse. Fascinated by the greatest poets, his writing is imbued with Lamartine's lyricism, Baudelaire's modernity - even in the title of the collection - and Hugo's ardour. 45 pages of travel in the heart of a wild and unusual Japan where Beauty is often hidden in details: a cherry blossom, the look of a young woman in Hagi, snow on the hills of Kyoto... A reading that will delight lovers of Japan and poetry.
