Madame Chrysanthemum

In "Madame Chrysanthemum," French naval officer Pierre Loti narrates his romanticized experiences during his posting in Japan. The story follows his temporary marriage to a Japanese woman, Chrysanthemum, highlighting cultural contrasts and the transient nature of their union. Loti's vivid descriptions offer readers a glimpse into late 19th-century Japan through Western eyes, blending personal reflection with cultural observation.
"Madame Chrysanthemum" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1897.
