Über diesen Titel

A thriller and love story set in 10th-century Japan.

Lady Shonagon is an imperial courtesan, living at the court of the Japanese Emperor in the 10th century. When a series of disturbing thefts within the palace walls throws the court into confusion and unrest, Shonagon is appointed guide and assistant to Lieutenant Yukinari as he investigates.

Together, Shonagon and Yukinari must solve the mysteries and escalating crimes that plague the Japanese court, and their romance blossoms in the tightly enclosed world behind the high palace walls. But soon Shonagon's lover Tadanobu becomes uncomfortable with how closely they are working together....

The Pillow Book is inspired by the writings of Sei Shonagon, a poet and lady-in-waiting to the empress of the 10th-century Japanese court. The work of the real-life Sei Shonagon consists of essays, lists, anecdotes, poems, and descriptive passages about her daily life.

This full-cast drama stars Ruth Gemmell as Sei Shonagon, with Yukinari played by Mark Bazeley in series 1-3 and Cal Macaninch in series 4-11. Benedict Cumberbatch plays Tadanobu in series 1.

Directed by Lu Kemp.

Once I got used to the sound & notion of the Japanese characters speaking in all sorts of Eng. language accents, which at first was very strange, I thoroughly enjoyed the script of the book & the actors/-tresses delivery almost without exception. Very dramatic & evocative. Liked the Japanese musical punctuations at the beginning & end of each chapter. Impressive creation from text to audible presentation. Would like to find/listen to another such well-crafted book. By the same author? or different one.

well done!

This is an incredible production and story. I was transported to another place and time. I could see, feel, and smell the world through the eyes of a 10th-century Japanese lady at the imperial palace. The acting and music are fantastic! And you never know what will happen next in this maze of palace intrigue, romance, and adventure.
