About The Thames and I
The Thames and I: A Memoir of Two Years at Oxford is a memoir written by Naruhito, Emperor of Japan, that describes his time studying at Merton College, Oxford, from June 1983 to October 1985. The book's title refers to Naruhito's thesis completed at Oxford: a study of "navigation and traffic" on the River Thames in the 18th century. In the book, Naruhito writes that even after leaving Oxford seven years prior, the name of the river "conjures up in me feelings of affection and nostalgia transcending distance and time."
