Synopsis
The great "Meireki Fire" levels the great city of Edo, killing a third of its population. A 15-year-old boy succeeds his father as Emperor, sparking a remarkable transformation. From 1944 to 1945, U.S. Superfortresses bomb Tokyo relentlessly, reducing it to rubble. In Tokyo: A Biography author Stephen Mansfield demonstrates how such events-and many more like them-became opportunities to remake this centuries-old city. In a whirlwind journey through Tokyo's past, Mansfield demonstrates how the city's response to everything from natural disasters to regime change has been to reinvent itself. A calamitous fire results in a massive expansion of the city. A malleable boy becomes a figurehead for relentless forces of modernization. Utter destruction wipes the slate clean so Tokyoites may start over again. And so it goes. Tokyo's story is fascinating and Mansfield's Tokyo rises higher with each renewal. By the book's end, we see a city that is utterly unique-a place that, despite its long history, is always preparing to turn the next corner...and the next. Book jacket., The history of Tokyo is as eventful as it is long. A concise yet detailed overview of this fascinating, centuries-old city, Tokyo: A Biography is a perfect companion volume for history buffs or Tokyo-bound travelers looking to learn more about their destination. In a whirlwind journey through Tokyo's past from its earliest beginnings up to the present day, this Japanese history book demonstrates how the city's response to everything from natural disasters to regime change has been to reinvent itself time and again. A calamitous fire results in a massive expansion of the city's territory. A debate over the Samurai code creates far-reaching social change. A malleable boy becomes the figurehead for powerful forces which change an ancient feudal society into a modern industrialized power within a generation. Utter destruction wipes the slate clean again so Tokyoites may start all over. And so it goes. Tokyo's story is riveting, and by the end of Tokyo: A Biography , readers see a city almost unrivaled in its uniqueness, a place that--despite its often tragic history--still shimmers as it prepares to face the future.
