description: Two gripping but very different tales from writer W.P.M. Nuyten...an old-fashioned Dutchman struggling in the perilous seas of contemporary and future Japan. These exciting and at times poignant stories were translated into English by the author from his native Dutch. Immoral Miyuki , autobiographical-fiction, takes us from the blossoming beginnings of a passionate romance to a stormy kamikaze finish, as the hapless Alexander becomes ensnared by the enigmatic and affected Miyuki. Along the way, the writer provides us with firsthand knowledge of a prejudiced and discriminative Japanese judiciary. The Bleeding Sun is imaginative futuristic fiction, set in 2020. The story is a warning and a harsh criticism of some currents in Japanese society, yet reveals the writer's grudging affection and hopes for his adopted home...a home where, as a foreigner, he will never feel truly welcome. The story also portrays the estrangement and approachment between father and daughter, and in many ways connects with "Immoral Miyuki" and further develops the same main character's inner-struggle and hard won solutions. Japanese culture has many cruel, beautiful and incomprehensible facets; these novels provide us with lively descriptions of present-day decaying Japanese moral values against the background of love, court struggles and civil war!
