    New Book

    Annotated Japanese Literary Gems (Vol. 2)
    Stories by Natsume Soseki, Tomioka Taeko, and Inoue Yasushi
    Selected and edited by Kyoko SELDEN, with Jolisa GRACEWOOD and Lili SELDEN
    No. 135, 2007, 212 pages. 978-1-933947-35-8 paperback $22.50, 978-1-933947-05-1 hardcover $48.50 (receive publisher-direct discount at checkout)

    This is the second volume of Annotated Japanese Literary Gems, which makes available representative examples of Japanese short stories and novellas from Meiji to the present. This multivolume set of books provides rubi for nearly all kanji at first use, along with extensive annotations. The collection serves as a resource for students of modern Japanese literature and can be used as an intermediate to advanced language text. The volume is printed Japanese-style, with pages ordered from right to left.

    The present volume introduces stories by three distinguished authors. Natsume Soseki, considered the greatest Meiji author along with Mori Ogai, is well known for his Botchan and I Am a Cat. Tomioka Taeko, an Osaka-born contemporary author, favors writing about nameless or marginal, yet unusual, individuals with their distinctive fears and desires. Inoue Yasushi is acclaimed for historical narrative and autobiographical fiction.

    FORTHCOMING

    Dynamics of Confucianism and Modernization in Korean History, The Yi Tae-jin
    978-1-933947-36-5 paperback $38.00, 978-1-933947-06-8 hardcover $76.00 (receive publisher-direct discount at checkout)

    This volume makes available for the first time in English a collection of the work of historian Yi Tae-Jin. Over the course of his career, he has done path-breaking research that covers virtually the entire Chosôn period (1392-1910) from the Koryô-Chosôn transition to the Kojong period and Korea's takeover by Japan in 1910. One of the focal points of his scholarship has been to reinterpret Neo-Confucianism as a dynamic force in Korean history.

    The Cornell East Asia Series continues its efforts to provide high quality books on topics of academic interest to China, Japan and Korea scholars as well as to the general public. The move to an off-site distribution and customer-service center has been highly successful. Please call CEASBOOKS Distribution and Customer Service toll-free at 877-865-2432 with your customer service questions, or write to ceas@cornell.edu

    SERIES OVERVIEW

    The Cornell East Asia Series (CEAS) is published and subsidized by the East Asia Program of Cornell University. CEAS produces scholarly monographs, translations of literature and major works of literary criticism or social analysis, specialized textbooks, and well-integrated volumes of articles on important subjects dealing with the cultures of China (both the PRC and Taiwan), Japan, Korea (both north and south) and Vietnam. The books are regularly reviewed in scholarly journals. We publish up to ten new titles per year, with over eighty volumes currently in print.
    Our goal is to publish high-quality works at reasonable prices and to keep works in print as long as there is moderate interest. The books are published in both paperback and hardcover editions. To assure high quality manuscripts are reviewed by both internal (usually Cornell faculty) and external examiners. Authors are invited to submit camera-ready copy that meets CEAS guidelines and no royalties are given.
    CEAS encourages the use of illustrations in our books and accompanying video, CDs, or other appropriate materials. We will consider proposals for electronic publication.

    • POLICIES

    Examination Copy
    We provide examination copies to instructors with an invoice that is payable within 30 days. At the end of that time, the instructor may choose to:
    1. Use the book for a class, have the book store place an order for at least 10 copies and notify us of this decision. At that point the invoice will be cancelled and the instructor may keep the book as a desk copy.
    2. Pay the invoice or return the book in perfect condition.
    Desk Copy
    The Cornell East Asia Series provides desk copies upon request with orders of 10 or more copies per title, provided the instructor has not previously received a copy of the requested book. We require confirmation from the bookstore carrying the volume prior to shipping the desk copy. This usually takes the form of a purchase order or notification from the bookstore that the order will be placed.

Standing order customers may then either return the quote with payment to the CEAS Distribution office, or simply disregard the quote if the title isn't wanted.
