Produktinformationen zu „Tokyo (ePub)“

Tokyo, 1985. The world's first megacity is at the height of its dynamism.

Forty years ago, a frenzy of creativity galvanised the Japanese capital. From fashion to movies to electronics, Tokyo was forging the future. Factories run by robots, the world's first high-speed trains, apartment blocks built from shipping containers, love hotels modelled on Bavarian castles...

In the thick of it, a young British teacher gazed around and asked questions. Why are Tokyoites so phlegmatic about earthquakes? What makes this high-tech city so unmistakably Japanese? And how, despite its size and pace, has Tokyo retained many pockets of perfect calm?

First published in 1985, Tokyo: the City at the End of the World was quickly recognised, in Time magazine, The New Yorker and elsewhere, as a fascinating portrait of the city that pointed where the world was headed. Forty years on numerous Asian cities have taken up Tokyo's baton, but Peter Popham's depiction of its menace and charm remains unrivalled.

Autoren-Porträt von Peter Popham

Peter Popham was raised in London and moved to Tokyo to teach English in the late 1970s as the city's boom years got underway. He quickly realised he had a front-row seat for a major cultural eruption, and Tokyo: the City at the End of the World, his first book, captures the exuberant ambition of those years. He joined The Independent in 1990 as a roving foreign correspondent and reported for the paper from more than two dozen countries. His other books include The Lady and the Peacock, on Burma's democratic revolution, which was a best-seller around the world.
