In the Shadow of the Rising Sun by Olga Henderson

Ovvio che tocca partire dalla storia della colonizzazione europea, arrivare alla fine della stessa, e poi le rivolte che sembrano accendersi come fiammiferi, che l’Occidente è sempre pronto a “impacchettare” ad arte. Kapuściński era bianco ed europeo nell’epoca in cui la gente d’Africa si stava liberando dei bianchi europei, li scacciava, si riappropriava del potere e del paese. February 2022 marked 80 years since the Fall of Singapore and at last Olga is ready to tell the story of her years as a child prisoner of war. It's a story of great fear and deprivation; of a childhood utterly lost to conflict. It's also a story of class prejudice and unkindness that didn't end when Olga was freed from the camp and returned to England as an unwanted refugee.

War is hell, and this memoir gives a necessary and important account of what it was like for a very young girl to be caught in the middle of it through no fault of her own. But knowing that Henderson survived the ordeal and went on to have a rich life full of love, along with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, offers some shred of hope for the future. The key thing is that the tip of the Heelstone shadow is at least 1m above ground level when first seen on the face of Stone 30.

The ancient Japanese traditions mention several particularly laudatory and poetic names relating to the natural environment of the archipelago. The texts thus mention the following periphrases: " the fertile land where reeds grow in abundance by the water's edge and where rice and the four other cereals ripen " (Toyo ashihara no mizuho no kuni), " the land of rich ears of the 1,500 autumns, of the plains of abundant reeds "(Toyo-ashihara chiiho-aki no mizuho no kuni)," the entrance to the mountain "(Yamato).
