An ironic and sharp look at the differences between East and West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis novel with a declared autobiographical charge, an impressive success in France since its release, tells the story of a 22-year-old Belgian woman, Amélie, who starts working in Tokyo at one of the world's largest companies, Yumimoto, the quintessence of Japanese companies. With astonishment and tremors: this is how the emperor of the Rising Sun demanded his subjects to present themselves before him. In present-day Japan, strongly hierarchical (where every superior is, first and foremost, the subordinate of another), Amélie, afflicted by the double handicap of being both a woman and a Westerner, lost in an anthill of bureaucrats and also subdued by the very Japanese beauty of her direct superior, with whom she has frankly perverse relations, suffers a cascade of humiliations. Absurd tasks, insane orders, repetitive duties, grotesque humiliations, thankless, inept or delirious missions, sadistic bosses: young Amélie starts in accounting, then moves on to serving coffee, to the photocopier and, descending the steps of dignity (though with a very zen detachment), ends up taking care of the... men's restrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Editorial Anagrama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57025187283288,"sku":"LIB-ES-ED-730","price":11.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9788433960764.jpg?v=1775169626"}],"url":"https:\/\/eu.plasticbooks.com\/en\/collections\/libros-sergi-pamies.oembed","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
