- The book :

Japan, forged by millennia of experience with catastrophes—tsunamis, earthquakes, crises—seems miraculously exempt from our missteps. A leading expert on the archipelago, Karoline Postel-Vinay masterfully deciphers the deep-seated mechanisms of this unique culture, which has cultivated a true "community of disasters," where collective organization in the face of the unexpected has become second nature. With its subtle and original analysis, this book invites the West to a radical shift in perspective. It's time to stop exhausting ourselves fighting the inevitable and turn to the Japanese experience to finally learn how to embrace impermanence.

- The author :

Karoline Postel-Vinay holds a Diploma of Advanced Research and Studies (DREA), specializing in Japan, from the National Institute of Oriental Languages ​​and Civilizations and a Doctorate in Political Science, specializing in International Relations, from the Paris Institute of Political Studies.
