A New York Times Notable Book of 2015
"Surprising and richly satisfying" (Megan Marshall); "beautifully crafted…subtle, polished, and poised" (Stacy Schiff).
In 1871, five young girls were sent by the Japanese government to the United States. Their mission: learn Western ways and return to help nurture a new generation of enlightened men to lead Japan.
Raised in traditional samurai households during the turmoil of civil war, three of these unusual ambassadors―Sutematsu Yamakawa, Shige Nagai, and Ume Tsuda―grew up as typical American schoolgirls. Upon their arrival in San Francisco they became celebrities, their travels and traditional clothing exclaimed over by newspapers across the nation. As they learned English and Western customs, their American friends grew to love them for their high spirits and intellectual brilliance.
The passionate relationships they formed reveal an intimate world of cross-cultural fascination and connection. Ten years later, they returned to Japan―a land grown foreign to them―determined to revolutionize women’s education.
Based on in-depth archival research in Japan and in the United States, including decades of letters from between the three women and their American host families, Daughters of the Samurai is beautifully, cinematically written, a fascinating lens through which to view an extraordinary historical moment.

A strange and distant land called America? It sounded like a fairy story, and she was curious. Her English skills, at that point, was limited to “yes,” no,” and “thank you.”
评分1871年年末,随着日本岩仓使团访欧美之行的启程,几位少女也肩负着天皇的诰命登上了出发的商船,她们年龄最大的才十一、二岁,最小的还不到七岁,她们此行的目的是在美国求学生活并在学成后归国以担负起日本未来女性教育的重担,对于这些懵懂少女来说,对这任务的艰巨和在异国他乡生活的困难还没有什么概念,不过她们都出身于武士家庭,服从与坚忍是她们一贯擅长的,而日后她们或多或少都将依赖这些「天赋」并最终以新时代的价值将其更替。不得不说,虽然书中的主人公并非历史风云人物,也远在我的视界之外,但这样的经历从第一时间就引起了我的好奇。作者的功课做的很深,翻阅了当年大量的报刊、书信及一些出版的书籍,通过合理的想象,以文学性很强的手法将这个故事和三名伟大的日本女性的一生讲述得荡气回肠。书籍序章的细致刻画尤其令人称道。
评分"They had grown into women with the odd ability to see their native land through foreign eyes. They were home, and yet at some deep level they would never cease to be homesick.”

评分我的第三本译作,很喜欢。
这个故事的主人公是三个女孩。她们出生在自己的国家,却被幼年时代尚无法理解的外力带到一个与家乡全然不同的地方——美国。她们在那里长大,像所有孩子一样,从生活中汲取经验。论出身,她们都纯然是武士的女儿;论成长,她们却是不同文化融合的产物。十年之后,回到故乡的她...
评分一本描述局限性的书。 能够意识到自己的局限性固然是幸运的。最简单的方式就是见到文明程度更高的生活、思想。 但于我自身而言,怎样知道局限性究竟在哪呢。我们身处在一个时代,在一个社会中,存在太多无法自知的“真理”了。像古人的常识于今人来说匪夷所思。 往大了说,好像...
