Fateful Journey Back in Time, Surprising Glimpse of the Asian Mind This non-fiction account is based upon the true story of a shipwreck which occurred on May 20, 1899. Sixteen men became stranded on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, and all of them lived there together with perseverance and hope, surviving successfully until they were rescued. The book was published in Japanese for the first time in 1943, and has continued to be popular with readers of all ages in Japan for many decades. The English translation has recently been released and is now drawing interest from readers in many countries. When we read this book, we can step outside of our current modern-day perspective and glimpse into the mindset of Asian fishermen and sealife researchers more than a century in the past. The men display a bold and yet gentle spirit of courage, innovation and cooperation which is rare today, and attractive. The reader feels as if he or she is also stranded on the island, striving with the men in their dilemma. The Japanese version of this book continues to be reprinted, and has garnered hundreds of positive and appreciative reviews. Now the story is newly available for a much wider audience of readers to enjoy in English. It conveys a peculiarly compelling and intriguing "Zen" nature. If you would like to have an adventurous journey of traveling backwards in Time to experience being shipwrecked with comrades on a tiny island, and yet come away from it alive and satisfied and positively influenced by the experience-this book will do it for you. ????????? ????????????1943????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
