The young heroine, Otama, is forced by poverty to become a moneylender's mistress. She is surrounded by skillfully-drawn characters—her weak-willed father, her virile and calculating lover (and his suspicious wife), and the handsome student who is both the object of her desire and the symbol of her rescue—as well as a colorful procession of Meiji era figures—geisha, students, entertainers, unscrupulous matchmakers, shopkeepers, and greedy landladies.Like those around her, and like the wild geese of the titles, Otama yearns for the freedom of flight. Her dawning consciousness of her predicament brings the novel to a touching climax.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 130mmItem Weight: 198gAuthor: Ogai MoriTranslator: Sanford Goldstein, Kingo OchiaiContributor: Sanford Goldstein (Translated by), Kingo Ochiai (Translated by)Genre: FictionBook Series: Tuttle ClassicsRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
