Nada a reclamar sobre o produto físico, mas o conteúdo talvez não te agrade. São seis contos de autores japoneses na íntegra: as páginas da direita são o conto, as páginas da esquerda trazem traduções para as frases que aparecem. A parte de trás do livro tem um dicionário com todas as expressões que aparecem e uma seção muito boa explicando por que o editor traduziu daquele modo.
Infelizmente, a qualidade dos contos varia muito. Dos 6 contos, eu gostei de 2, achei 2 mais ou menos e não gostei dos outros dois. Acho que o livro Read Real Japanese Essays talvez seja mais interessante, mas valeu pelo exercício de ler japonês. Ah, os contos não são muito fáceis de ler: eu julgaria que você precisa ser N2+ para conseguir ler sem ficar procurando no dicionário toda hora.

*** SUPERB ***
Reviewed in Germany on 25 March 2022Verified Purchase
I am learning so much from this book, it is almost ridiculous. READ REAL JAPANESE begins, where the textbooks end. This is certainly NOT for beginners, even if you have completed Genki1 and Genki2 (typical 2-year Japanese course), you will get very little from this book. You should at least have finished the TOBIRA textbook (or similar), and perhaps tried reading some Japanese short stories on your own.
The selection of stories is nice (and graded by difficulty), and the commentary by Michael Emmerich is superb. It's like having your private Japanese tutor at your side, while working your way through beautiful and interesting stories. I wish there were more in this series. Thank you!

Really good
Reviewed in France on 20 July 2019Verified Purchase
This really is the book you need if you intend to read japanese. I personnaly don't have the money to ever go to Japan, so the goal I am trying to achieve is to read Japanese fluently. I bought quite a few bilingual books (not that much available) and this one is my favourite. First, because the short story chosen are excellent, and made me discover very interesting authors, and second because the translations, explanations and furigana are made in a way to help but not prevent from doing at least a little work yourself.

The book arrived safe and undamaged! It's in very good condition for a used book. I've always liked fiction and it's a great book for self-learning because of the english translation on every page. Thank you!
