About this book

Lake of Heaven: An original translation of the Japanese novel by Ishimure Michiko (Asiaworld) by Allen, Bruce. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780739124635.

Lake of Heaven is a tale of the people, culture, and environment of a Japanese mountain village that is sunk to build a dam. As Gary Snyder comments, the story becomes a parable for the larger world, _in which all of our old cultures and all of our old villages are becoming buried, sunken, and lost under the rising waters of the dams of industrialization and globalization._
