About This Book
Shiono Nanami, Japanese author and novelist famous for her works on
history of Italy, mainly concentrated on ancient Rome and
Renaissance-age Italy. There are huge reputation on her in Japan and
South Korea for her magnum opus, Roma-jin no Monogatari and other works.
Roma-jin no Monogatari (Res Gestae Populi Romani: The Stories of the
Romans) (1993-2006)
Although her first work won her recognition in Japan, it was not until
the publication of Umi no Miyako no Monogatari that she became a
national sensation. Umi no Miyako no Monogatari became a literary
phenomenon in Japan in the 1980s, and some people compared Venice to
Japan and sought vision of Japan's future in her book. Her books were
first published in Korea in 1995, and Roma-jin no Monogatari quickly
became a bestseller there (Roma-in Iyagi in Korean), and her reputation
grew tremendously in the country.
She was awarded the literary prize given by the Mainichi Publishing
House for her work Runesansu no Onna-tachi. In 1982, Umi no Miyako no
Monogatari, her work on Venice, won her the Suntory Literary Prize. She
won the Kikuchi Kan Prize the following year. For Roma-jin no Monogatari,
she was awarded the Shincho Literary Prize. The Italian government
conferred upon her the Grande Ufficiale Order of Merit in 2002 for
introducing Italian history and culture to Japan. She received other
prizes including the Shiba Ryotaro Prize in 1999.
Shiono's reputation in Japan is dichotomic. Many think that her works
are engaging while others consider them one-sided, over-simplified and
sensational interpretation of moments in history that are in fact
multi-faceted and complicated. Professional historians tend to criticize
her works for their lack of references and objectivity.
