This is a realm in which jealousy, stubbornness, and other excessive “feminine” passions are not to be feared or suppressed, but rather cultivated; and, chances are, a man named Mr. Tei will notice your talents and recruit you, dead or alive (preferably dead), to join his mysterious company.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eWhere the Wild Ladies Are\u003c\/i\u003e, Aoko Matsuda takes the rich, millenia-old tradition of Japanese folktales—shapeshifting wives and foxes, magical trees and wells—and wholly reinvents them, presenting a world in which humans are consoled, guided, challenged, and transformed by the only sometimes visible forces that surround them.","brand":"Catapult","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62276663869827,"sku":"9781593766900","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9781593766900.jpg?v=1785548406","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/where-the-wild-ladies-are-9781593766900","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
