"How wide this world is!" - exclaims a man named Yonoske, who lives in the XVII century in the "self -isolated" Japan. Despite the fact that contacts with the outside world are minimized, Japan is experiencing stormy changes at that time, leaving the era of the Middle Ages - those foundations that we today consider the features of Japanese traditional culture are laid.
The wanderings of Yonoske in the cities and deaf corners of the country, as well as its countless novels with women make up the essence of the plot. This book, built as the story of a man’s life, completely surrendered to love passion, wrote the classic of Japanese literature Ihara Saikaku (1642-1693), whose name in world literature is often placed on a par with Bokkaccio and Cervantes. The books of Saikaku were already translated into Russian, but not this one - the first and most famous, "History of love affairs of a lonely man" (1682) The special world of love of love, closely related to the theater, poetry, engraving, is shown here from the point of view of a mocking and wise observer. Illustrations for the first edition, presumably made by the author himself, allow you to look at the life of the “man of this world " - this is how the name of the hero, Yonoske
