THE ANALYSIS OF THE NOVEL “THOUSAND YEARS OF LOVE” BY AKIRA MIZUBAYASHI FROM AN INTERCULTURAL PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Based on the novel “A Love of Thousand Years” (Un Amour de Mille Ans) by Akira Mizubayashi, the paper attempts to reveal the problems related to intercultural communication. Linguistic, cultural and religious aspects are observed. The bearers of these aspects are Sen-nen, the main hero presenting Japan, as well as the hero who is open to other cultures, Matilda, Sen-nen's wife, who is associated with Europe and their daughter, Emily, who seems to “lack” culture, she presents modern globalist “culture”.
