[Meltem Sağlam · Rating 3 out of 5]

Yazar, büyük usta Ryunosuke Akutagawa’nın öğrencilerinden birisi. Oldukça etkilendiği metinden anlaşılıyor. Romanının kahramanlarından Setsuko’nun ‘… bir keresinde tabiatın ancak ölmekte olan birinin gözlerinden gerçekten güzel görünebileceğini söylemiştin…” (sf;32) cümlesi bana Akutagawa’nın son mektuplarından birisi olan, en yakın dostuna yazmış olduğu ve Bir Budalanın Yaşamı başlıklı eserde yer alan “… Ben bu hale geleli beri, artık doga hiç olmadığı kadar güzel görünüyor. doğanın güzelliğini sevmemle kendimi öldürmeye çalışmam arasındaki çelişkiye gülüyor olmalısın. Ne var ki, doğanın güzelliği, ölüme yaklaşan gözlerimin onu öyle görmesi yüzünden.…”, (Sel Yayınları, 2. Baskı, sf; 119) cümlesini hatırlattı.

Çok akıcı, doğal, içten ve duygusal yazılmış bir sevgi, bağlılık, sadakat, fedakarlık hikayesi. Yazarın kendi hayatını esas aldığı yarı otobiyografik bir roman olduğu arka kapakta belirtilmiş.

Etkileyici, hüzün dolu bir roman.

Le vent se lève est un récit sobre et mélancolique sur la mort de l'être aimé, c'est aussi paradoxalement une évocation du bonheur d'être à deux, qu'elles que soient les tragiques circonstances. Tatsuo Hori déploie avec beaucoup d'élégance une aura animiste sur tout le roman, avec des descriptions omniprésentes de la montage, des bois et du vent qui environnent le sanatorium. Malgré le minimalisme du style, il y a quelques très beaux passages symboliques, où la mort progresse imperceptiblement dans les détails, avec une Nature au diapason... une jolie lecture.

Ho preso questo romanzo a Tempo di libri allo stand della casa editrice Kappa Edzioni che pubblica in italiano i diversi romanzi dai quali sono stati tratti i famosissimi film dello Studio Ghibli e/o di Hayao Miyazaki. Non ho ancora visto il film omonimo, ma l'ho preso e letto subito visto che era assai corto e mi è piaciuto molto. Ho presente il trailer e credo che il film si discosti assai dal libro ma quest'ultimo ha comunque una sua bellezza e ho trovato molto toccante la storia che viene raccontata. L'io narrante ci narra la sua sofferenza e quella della sua amata ammalata, del loro viaggio insieme verso un destino sempre più infelice e non insieme. E' una storia d'amore a suo modo toccante e profonda, triste naturalmente ma mi è piaciuta nonostante tutto. E adesso corro a vedere il film, ovviamente!

Un magnifique roman sur une belle et poignante histoire d’amour qui ne peut pas vous laisser indifférent. Une ode à l’amour, à la nature, mais surtout, à la vie. Je ne peux que conclure sur ces mots. « Le vent se lève, il faut tenter de vivre. »

a sick wife and a devoted husband stay happy within a sanatorium. happy because they're together. happy thanks to the mountains, to the trees, to each other. death looms over Setsuko but, in the end, doesn't it loom over us whether we're sick or not ? look at the light: love.

Ada yang udah nonton film Ghibli The Wind Rises?

Kalau kalian suka filmnya atau penggemar film-film Ghibli, kayanya harus baca buku ini deh.

Dan Angin Pun Berhembus merupakan novel klasik Jepang dengan genre romance. Novel ini diadaptasi menjadi film Ghibli dengan judul The Wind Rises, lebih tepatnya bukan mengadaptasi sih ya karena cerita di novel ini nggak sama persis dengan filmnya, bisa
dibilang Ghibli mengambil alur dari novel ini.

Novel ini berkisah tentang sepasang kekasih yang saling mencintai. Sayangnya kebahagian mereka tidak berlangsung lama karena tokoh utama wanita di novel ini menderita penyakit.

Meski mengetahui kondisi wanitanya yang tidak akan bertahan lama, tokoh utama lelaki tidak lantas meninggalkannya. Dia dengan sukarela menemani Setsuko pergi ke sebuah tempat di pegunungan untuk berobat.

Novel ini akan diterbitkan oleh @penerbitmai bulan Desember nanti.

________
Sewaktu membaca novel ini aku ngerasanya sedih, tapi disaat yang sama novel ini ngasih rasa damai.

Gimanapun tokoh utamanya sakit dan semakin hari kondisinya semakin buruk, tapi melihat kesetian si tokoh utama lelaki menemani dia, lalu tempat pengobatan mereka di pegunungan di mana penulisnya sendiri mendeskripsikan tempat dengan detail, malah jadi mengurangi situasi jadi gak begitu menyedihkan.

Dan endingnya cukup bikin sesak. 🤧
Aku suka sih pesan yang apa yang disampaikan melalui kisah ini.

Ngereview novel ini agak susah.
Soalnya ceritanya emang nggak dramatis atau ada konflik yang gimana2. Semoga jelas ya apa yang aku tulis di atas. 🙈

Aku rekomendasikan novel ini buat kalian yang suka Ghibli, novel jepang, romance, suka kisah di mana tokohnya sakit parah tapi diceritakan dengan tidak dramatis. 😬

[Szasza · Rating 3 out of 5]

Buku ini bercerita tenrang si "aku" bersama kekasihnya yang bernama Setsuko. Setsuko memiliki penyakit yang cukup parah sehingga harus di rawat di sanatorium di daerah pegunungan.

Penulisnya mendeskripsikan sanatorium tempat Setsuko dirawat dengan detail bikin pembaca kebayang-bayang suasana pegunungan yang sunyi, indah, dan atmospheric.

Menurut aku buku ini termasuk ke jenis "quiet book" karena bukunya tenang, minim dialog, masing-masing tokoh punya konflik batinnya tersendiri, konflik yang di alami dua tokoh utama ini juga bukan konflik yang meledak-ledak cocok buat kalian yang suka buku yang gak "berisik".

তাতসুও হোরির 'দ্য উইন্ড রাইজেস' এর কাহিনী অবলম্বনে বানানো অ্যানিমেটা দেখা হয়েছিলো কয়েক বছর আগে। সেই সময় মনে ধরেছিলো সিনেমাটি। এ বছর নটিলাস প্রকাশনী থেকে যখন ইমরান চৌধুরীর অনুবাদে বইটি আসার ঘোষনা এলো তখনই উইশলিস্টে টুকে রেখেছিলাম বইখানা। আজ পড়া হলো।

তাতসুও হোরির এই বইখানা মূলত উনার জীবনের এক চরম ট্র্যাজেডি অবলম্বনে রচিত। ১৯৩৫ সালে তার বাগদত্তা যক্ষ্মায় মারা যাওয়ার আগে তাদের এক সাথে স্যানিটোরিয়ামে কাটানোর অভিজ্ঞতাই মূলত এই উপন্যাসে এসেছে। পুরো উপন্যাসের আগা-গোড়া সম্পুর্নটাই বিষাদে মোড়ানো। এমনকি সুখের মুহূর্তের মাঝেও বিষন্নতার রেশ ছিলো। বইয়ে স্যানিটোরিয়ামের আশেপাশের প্রকৃতির চমৎকার বিবরন এসেছে। স্বভাবতই মন ভালো হয়ে যাওয়ার কথা। কিন্তু কি আশ্চর্য! সুন্দর মন ভালো করে দেওয়া পরিবেশের আবেশ পাতার পর পাতা পড়েও সেই বিষন্নতাই গ্রাস করছিলো আমায়।

এর আগে ইমরান চৌধুরীর অনুবাদে 'জাপানের আরও অদ্ভুতুড়ে সব গল্প' বইটি পড়া হয়েছিলো এবং সেটিও নটিলাস প্রকাশনী থেকেই বের হয়েছিলো। সেই বইয়ে সুন্দর ঝরঝরে অনুবাদ পেয়েছিলাম দেখেই এই বিশ্বাস ছিলো যে 'দ্য উইন্ড রাইজেস' এর অনুবাদও ভালো হবে। অনুবাদক সফল!

TỰA VIỆT: GIÓ NỔI LÊN
__________

Nhà văn viết khi có điều gì đó cần tâm sự. Với Gió Nổi Lên, tôi nghĩ hẳn Hori Tatsuo có nhiều hơn một tâm sự. Trải dài hầu khắp cuốn sách tuy chỉ là những dòng tự sự và độc thoại, nhưng được bọc b���ng những văn chương ý nhị và thứ chất liệu cổ điển “tả cảnh ngụ tình”, với 2 phần riêng biệt nhưng chẳng bao giờ có cốt truyện rõ ràng, mà luôn lập lờ, mơ hồ tựa cảm giác bị lạc trong sương:

Phần đầu là những chuyến độc hành của chàng lữ khách không tên trong dịp dưỡng bệnh trên vùng núi cao nguyên có cái tên kì lạ: K.

Và vẫn là chàng trai trẻ ấy, trong câu chuyện thứ hai lại trở thành người đồng hành cùng người vợ Tetsuko trong những ngày tháng cuối đời, giữa những đợt gió thốc của vùng cao nguyên bạt ngàn gió mà anh từng một thời trú ngụ.

1. Tình yêu đẹp, nhưng buồn

Tâm sự đầu tiên, hẳn nhiên là một nỗi đau. Dĩ nhiên, là nỗi đau trong tình yêu, thứ không ai muốn nhưng rồi vẫn phải ngậm ngùi chấp nhận. Thứ tình cảm tha thiết, cảm động, chân thành giữa những cặp đôi mặn nồng luôn đẹp, và khi đứng giữa hai bờ sinh tử, chơi vơi giữa cõi thực và cõi mộng, nó càng được điểm tô bội phần.

Thế mà, tác phẩm này lại bày ra một tình cảm có phần kỳ lạ, lữ khách yêu Setsuko nhiều đến thế, vậy mà trong tác phẩm, hình ảnh cô xuất hiện rất ít, ít đến đáng thương, dù cô là chất xúc tác cho câu thơ tự vấn của anh: “Gió nổi lên rồi. Sống được chăng? Thôi nào, đâu có lẽ.”. Còn tôi lại nghĩ, giống như điện ảnh, văn chương đôi khi cũng không cần nhiều lời. Có những điều tác giả không muốn phải nhắc đến quá nhiều, cũng như một người chồng tinh tế không thích nói quá nhiều với ai về nỗi đau của vợ mình vậy.

Setsuko xuất hiện hãn hữu, có lẽ đó là vì nét cá tính mạnh mẽ, không muốn nhận sự thương hại từ bất kì ai ngoài chồng mình, hoặc là lữ khách muốn giữ cho mình những ký ức đẹp nhất, hoặc. Trong tác phẩm, Hori Tatsuo đã khéo léo đưa vào những cảnh nắm tay, tản bộ, cùng những tâm tình dưới bầu trời sao của cặp đôi, và nhất là cảnh Setsuko vẽ tranh dưới bóng cây mimosa, trong bóng chiều tà, mà sau sẽ trở thành nguồn cảm hứng để Hayao Miyazaki tái hiện câu chuyện tình day dứt trong Gió Nổi Lên Rồi (The Wind Rises/Kaze Tachinu). Được mô tả bằng những câu văn ngắn, ý nhị và thiên về “tả cảnh ngụ tình” - tức mượn cảnh vật để nói lên tâm trạng, chừng ấy là đủ để ta hiểu rằng có gì đó mang cảm giác chia ly và mất mát trong K, lẫn Tetsuko. Tóm lại, dù nghĩ theo hướng nào đi nữa, tôi đều cảm thấy những nét đáng quý đáng được trân trọng trong tình yêu này.

2. Tìm mình trong cõi phi thực

Kế tiếp, khi đã nếm trải đủ mùi vị đau thương trong chốn vốn chẳng có gì là vĩnh hằng dù có nửa cuộc đời bên người mình yêu, lữ khách - cũng như bao kẻ sầu đời khác, đã thoáng nghĩ đến chuyện thoát li hiện thực. Đại thi hào Nguyễn Du từng có câu “Người buồn cảnh có vui đâu bao giờ” và quả vậy: vì tâm có biến, trong lòng có sự, con người lại tìm đến thiên nhiên như người bạn tâm giao, như cách anh mải miết lần hồi trong khói sương của những rặng rừng mimosa, chút ký ức suy tàn của mối tình vãng lai.

Vẻ đẹp gắn liền với những rặng núi trong Gió Nổi Lên hầu như luôn luôn đến cùng khoảnh khắc mù sương. Sương giá đi vắng hay trốn đâu đó trong địa tầng thăm thẳm, chẳng buồn rong chơi hay bộc bạch với không gian. Sương ở đó, câm lặng và ẩn mật, họa hoằn lắm mới tỏa lên ngun ngún chờn vờn, nhắc nhớ về một sự hiện diện mong manh. Có lẽ, sương cũng không ngờ mình rồi sẽ biến thành món cổ vật trong cuộc khảo cổ học không gian của kẻ săn tìm ký ức.

Và dường như có sẵn niềm đam mê với các loài hoa nên cứ ở mỗi vùng đất nơi lữ khách đi qua đều hiện diện trăm hoa đua nở: nào những cây mimosa, hoa kèn, hoa lăng, bụi trúc,... Và ở bất cứ đâu ta cũng thoáng thấy tình yêu, dù lúc đó chỉ còn là tiếng gió thoảng ngang tai, là nỗi ám ảnh khôn nguôi về sự vô thường của kiếp người, vẫn song hành cùng anh. Đó là trong những lời “bình phẩm” về quy luật chớm nở rồi tàn của những loài hoa anh đã gặp, trong cơn điên của người đàn bà trong kho nước đá, trong những thanh âm xao động của tiếng gió rít, tiếng đàn shamisen vang lên ma quái,... Như thể thiên nhiên cũng có lời tỏ bày, có một sự đồng điệu với tình yêu và nỗi đau của chàng lữ khách.


3. Kết

Nhiều người xem Gió Nổi Lên là cuốn du ký của một kẻ đam mê xê dịch, vì những cuộc đi bộ ngao du đã chiếm hơn nửa cuốn sách, còn cá nhân tôi vẫn coi đây là một câu chuyện tình mộng ảo, đượm vẻ chết chóc song lại được viết nên bằng chất văn rất thơ, rất trữ tình. Vả lại, đâu ai tự dưng tản bộ mà không có mục đích, cũng như tình yêu trong tác phẩm này dù nhẹ nhàng và không quá rõ ràng, nhưng vẫn khiến nhân vật bồi hồi không yên, vẫn đủ ám ảnh tôi như nghe thấy tiếng vọng tình yêu của thời đã mất.

Câu chuyện của Hori Tatsuo đẹp đến nỗi khiến người ta dù trong lòng đã biết kết cục tất yếu nhưng vẫn muốn nán lại vì nỗi tò mò vì lẽ gì người khách vãng lai kia lại chọn ở lại chốn hoang vu mà đau buồn ấy? Và quả thực, những độc giả đó đã không khỏi thất vọng. Nếu bộ phim lấy cảm hứng của Hayao Miyazaki cho chúng ta một cái kết buồn khi đặt nhân vật vào thế vỡ mộng, mất đi mọi thứ kể cả tình yêu, thì Hori Tatsuo tin rằng tình yêu với Tetsuko dù không thể vĩnh cửu, nhưng vẫn có thể tái sinh dưới một hình hài khác, một nguồn động lực mới, thôi thúc chúng ta không ngừng đặt niềm tin vào hạnh phúc, trước những tình thế bất khả kháng của đời sống.

2.5 ⭐️

Der namenlose Ich-Erzähler fährt mit seiner an Tuberkulose erkrankten Frau in ein Sanatorium in den Bergen.

Von dort beschreibt er ein Leben im Stillstand, die anderen Patienten und die innige Beziehung seiner Frau zu ihrem Vater, welche die Eifersucht in seiner Brust entfacht. Das Ganze wird untermalt von Naturbeschreibungen, welche den Seelenzustand des Ich-Erzählers widerspiegeln.

Ich mag Naturbeschreibungen, aber hier wurden sie mir als Stilmittel in den Tod geritten. Zudem waren die Metaphern alles andere als innovativ, weshalb sie nicht über den handlungsarmen Plot hinwegtäuschen vermochten. Es wäre mit lieber gewesen, durch die Erzählung oder die Ausarbeitung seiner Eifersucht gegenüber der Vater-Tochter-Beziehung tiefer in die Psyche des Protagonisten sehen zu können. So blieben die Charaktere leider alle sehr flach.

A tragic yet inspiring short story from Hori Tatsuo, "The Wind Has Risen" is an example of Hori's ability to elegantly weave metaphors and symbols into his narratives. The writing is, at certain points, fragmented and confused. Without going in depth about the plot the writing style gives us, the readers, insight into the protagonist's mind as he comes to terms with the beauty of life and loss. It is lyrical at times like a melancholic love song. Hori shows that life, though fleeting, is something that one can reflect on and find peace in.

This story serves as an inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki's "The Wind Rises". Its themes are combined to give a fictionalized account of the life of Jiro Horikoshi. I strongly recommend both this source material and the movie, though they may not be for everybody.

so empathetic and heartbreaking and very uniquely isolating. i was literally sobbing. happy new year. happy this was my first of the year/broke my dry spell w this. but it definitely helps that im such a mega fan of the movie lols i have been searching for this source material for years & chose to read it now because i randomly cried a ton thinking about the film when i was trying to write today. also i have long scorned romance novels thanks to people like sally rooney and all the rest of it so i think this is one of my first romantic reads and it was just what i needed :( im so touched. it's so intimate

i saved some fragments below but maybe my favourite is the first one where setsuko seems to send him a message, or the one after which is a fragment from rilke's requiem

Something recurred to my memory, and I forgot to keep drying myself. It was last year just about this time late one night when snow was swirling around the mountain sanitarium...suddenly I thought you were mumbling something, and I went to your side and heard you say to me in a weak, almost inaudible voice, "There's snow on your hair." Now, crouching alone by the fire, I am moved by the sudden memory. Without thinking, I put my hand to my hair. It happens to be wet and cold. I hadn't noticed that before I touched it...

...[I continued] reading "Requiem." I felt so strongly how it resembled the regret in my timid heart that I had not stopped seeking you, that even now I could not leave you quietly in your death.

I have my dead, and I have let them go,
and was amazed to see them so contented,
so soon at home in being dead, so cheerful,
so unlike their reputation. Only you
return, brush past me, loiter, try to knock
against something, so that the sound reveals
your presence. Oh don't take from me what I
am slowly learning. I am sure you have gone astray
if you are moved to homesickness for anything
in this dimension.

The wind has risen. Now we must try to live. / The verse that I had forgotten came suddenly back to us now. It brought day after day of happiness, taking precedence over life, making us more lively than life itself, even to the point of pain.

Now I feel that while we lived through day after day of repeated similarity, we somehow escaped completely from time. Every trivial detail of our daily life during those days free of time still holds a unique and distinctive charm. The warmish but fragrant being before me, her rather tepid breathing, the limp hand holding mine, her smile, and the simple conversation we sometimes exchanged-if I lay all those things aside, there is a sameness to those days that leaves nothing in memory. That's all there really was to the essence of our life. The fact that we were so satisfied in this modest existence came, I am sure, because we two were together. / To mention the one and only event of those days, she would occasionally develop a fever that, little by little, wasted away her body. On those days we tried to savor the charm of the unchanging daily schedule a little more carefully and more slowly, as if we were secretly stealing the taste of forbidden fruit. We could cherish our joy to the fullest in a life that tasted somehow of death.

"This happiness that we share together-the joy of life that flows form what everyone thinks is a dead end-our life that nobody knows, I want to give it shape, make it more certain. Do you understand?" / "I understand." She seemed to follow my thinking as if it were her own. ... / "But I'll need lots of help from you." / "What can I do?" / "While I'm working, I'd like to have you happy from your head to your toes. If you arent,..." / Rather than thinking abstractly to myself, I wanted us to think together.

"Setsuko, I can't believe that two people have ever shared such mutual love. There hasn't been a you before. Or a me,..."

She gieves for the grief of the one she will leave behind.

Tatsuo Hori’nin,yarı otobiyografik romanı Rüzgar Yükseliyor,zarif bir melankoliyle örülü,insanın iç dünyasına dokunan,yalnızlık,aşk ve yaşamın kırılgan doğasına dair derin bir hikâye sunuyor. Yazar, kendi deneyimlerinden yola çıkarak isimsiz anlatıcının ve ölümcül hastalığıyla mücadele eden sanatoryumdaki Setsuko’nun hikâyesini kaleme alıyor.Bu kişisel yön,bir yandan ölümün kaçınılmazlığıyla yüzleşirken,diğer yandan yaşamın en küçük anlarında bile anlam arayan bir insanın duygularını derinlemesine ele alıyor.

Hori’nin betimlemeleri,sizi Japon kırsalının huzurlu ve dingin atmosferine taşırken,karakterlerin duygusal yolculuğunu incelikle işliyor.Ana karakterin sevdiği kadının hastalığına karşı verdiği mücadele ve aşkın kırılgan doğası,insanın üzerinde hem bir ağırlık hem de garip bir hüzün bırakıyor.

‘Rüzgar yükseliyor, yaşamaya çalışmalıyız’ cümlesi yalnızca bir motto değil,aynı zamanda ölümün gölgesinde dahi yaşamın anlamını arayan bu hikâyenin ruhu.Setsuko’nun narin varlığı ve anlatıcının ona tutunma çabası,beni derinden etkiledi.Dingin, sade ama bir o kadar da kırılgan bir kitap.

Bu kitap,yalnızca edebiyat dünyasında değil,sinemada da iz bırakmıştır.Hayao Miyazaki, Rüzgar Yükseliyor’u yaparken bu romandan ilham alarak hikâyeyi kendi özgün tarzında yeniden yorumlamıştır. Hori’nin melankolik ve içsel tonları, Miyazaki’nin sinematografik dokunuşuyla geniş bir kitleye ulaşmış ve romanın zamansız etkisini daha da pekiştirmiştir.

Una scrittura molto levigata e ariosa, così tanto da non lasciare emozioni in me. Si respira un po’ di malinconia, sì, però mancano le parti chiave che denotano una relazione. È come se il libro partisse da un punto imprecisato della storia, nel bel mezzo di un istante, e il narratore non desse informazioni su quanto avvenuto prima. Molto belle le descrizioni delle Alpi avvolte dalle nuvole, meno impressionanti le connotazioni dei personaggi, che cambiano umore da un momento all’altro. Mi aspettavo qualche emozione in più.

"ঝোড়ো হাওয়া বইছে!... তবু আমাদের বাঁচতে হবে!"

ফরাসি কবি পল ভ্যালেরির এই অমর পঙক্তিটি ধার করেই তাতসুও হোরি তাঁর 'দ্য উইন্ড রাইজেস' উপন্যাসের শুরুটা করেছেন। আর এই একটি বাক্যই যেন পুরো বইয়ের মূল সুর। কেবল একটি নিছক প্রেমের গল্প নয়, বরং মৃত্যুশয্যায় থাকা প্রিয় মানুষের হাত ধরে জীবনের অর্থ খোঁজার এক বিষণ্ণ ও সুন্দর উপাখ্যান।

গল্পের প্রেক্ষাপট এক পাহাড়ি স্যানাটোরিয়াম। যক্ষ্মায় আক্রান্ত প্রিয়তমা সেতসুকো দিন দিন মৃত্যুর দিকে এগিয়ে যাচ্ছে, আর তার পাশে বসে থাকা এক প্রেমিক দেখছেন কীভাবে জীবন ধীরে ধীরে ফুরিয়ে আসে। বইটিতে কোনো অতিনাটকীয়তা, বড় কোনো টুইস্ট বা টানটান উত্তেজনা নেই। এর বদলে আছে এক অদ্ভুত প্রশান্তি আর সবকিছু মেনে নেওয়ার গল্প। হোরির লেখা পড়তে পড়তে মনে হয়, তিনি যেন তুলি দিয়ে শব্দের ক্যানভাসে এক অপূর্ব জলরঙের ছবি এঁকেছেন—যেখানে প্রতিটি ঋতু পরিবর্তন, বাতাসের শব্দ, মেঘের ছায়া আর ঝরে পড়া পাতার আলাদা আলাদা অর্থ আছে।

বইটির সবচেয়ে বেশি দাগ কাটে মৃত্যুভয়কে তুচ্ছ করে দুজনের একসাথে কাটানো মুহূর্তগুলো। সেতসুকো জানে সে বাঁচবে না, প্রেমিকও জানেন তার ভালোবাসার মানুষটি আর বেশিদিন নেই। তবুও তারা ভবিষ্যতের আক্ষেপ না করে বর্তমানের ছোট ছোট আনন্দগুলোকে আঁকড়ে ধরেছেন।

বইটা শেষ করার পর অনেকক্ষণ স্তব্ধ হয়ে বসে থাকতে হয়। বুকের ভেতর এক অদ্ভুত শূন্যতা কাজ করে। তবে সেই শূন্যতা শুধুই কষ্টের নয়, বরং এক ধরনের স্নিগ্ধতার। জাপানি সাহিত্যের এই ক্ল্যাসিক কাজগুলো যখন আমাদের নিজেদের ভাষা, বাংলায় অনূদিত হয়ে একুশে বইমেলার মতো প্রাঙ্গণে পাঠকের হাতে পৌঁছায়, তখন এর আবেদন যেন আরও বহুগুণ বেড়ে যায়। মনে হয়, দূরের কোনো পাহাড়ি স্যানাটোরিয়ামের বিষণ্ণতা আমাদের খুব কাছের কোনো আপন গল্প হয়ে উঠেছে।

যারা জীবনের কোলাহল থেকে দূরে সরে গিয়ে নিস্তব্ধতায় মোড়ানো, গভীর ও মনস্তাত্ত্বিক কোনো সাহিত্য পড়তে ভালোবাসেন, 'দ্য উইন্ড রাইজেস' নিশ্চিতভাবেই তাদের হৃদয় ছুঁয়ে যাবে। বইটি পড়ার পর জীবনকে হয়তো একটু অন্য চোখে দেখতে ইচ্ছে করবে।

İsimsiz bir aşığın ağzından, sevdiği kadın Setsuko'nun hayatının amansız bir hastalık yüzünden yitip gitmesini ve bu durumun anlatıcıda yarattığı hisleri aktarmayı amaçladığını düşündüğün yazar bu konuda çok da iyi bir iş çıkarmamış bence. Erkek anlatıcı, Setsuko'nun tüberkülozu yüzünden senatoryuma yerleşmek zorunda kaldıklarından itibaren Setsuko'nun mahzun kabullenişi ve anlatıcıya duyduğu derin bağlılığı anlatmak istese de hem kendi duyguları hem de Setsuko'nun duyguları yarım kalmış gibi bir his veriyor. Sevdiğinin ölümünü izlemek, gözünün önünde yavaş yavaş yitip gitmesi gerçekten de bu denli sığ anlatılabilecek bir durum mu? Duygusal olarak etkilenmediğim için başarılı bulmadım. Ayrıca Japon edebiyatı olmasından dolayı diye düşünüyorum, yine bir 'makul' kadın ve bu kadın için fedakarlık yapıp bütün hayatını ona adayan bir erkek tiplemesi var. Gül gibi kızımız solup giderken çok sevdiği nişanlısıyla sadece gözleriyle iletişim kuruyor ve bir şey söylemek istediğinde erkek tarafından tatlılıkla ya da bazen sitemle susturuluyor.

Setsuko'nun ölümünden, nasıl öldüğünden, ne zaman öldüğünden açıkça bahsedilmezken birden bire anlatıcıyı hayali olan dağ evine taşınıp orada yaşarken ve bu süreçte nişanlısını hala yaşıyormuş gibi bazen başucunda durur ve yanında olurken görüyoruz. Yine çok daha derinleştirilebilecek fakat üstünkörü bırakılmış bir nokta bence. Genel olarak yazım dili yeterince akıcı ve okuması kolay olsa da Miyazaki'nin uyarlama animasyonunu tercih ederim her şekilde.

[Lorenzo Panebianco · Rating 3 out of 5]

Romanzo breve e in parte autobiografico ispirato a quando, nel 1936, Tatsuo Hori soggiornò nel sanatorio di Fujimi con la sua compagna fino alla morte di lei. Traduttore in Giappone delle opere di Paul Valéry, in questo lavoro Hori, citando "Le Cimitière marin", cerca di sublimare questa storia d'amore e di renderla un inno alla vita. Per fare questo, l'autore si concentra maggiormente sulla descrizione del proprio stato d'animo e della natura circostante in dei monologhi interiori che si avvicinano al flusso di coscienza, mentre invece trama e dialoghi sono quasi del tutto assenti. Il libro acclude un'interessante postfazione della traduttrice Anna Specchio.

Fazla tekrarlanan betimlemeler dışında ölümün soğukluğunu ve griefin yalnızlığını açıkça suratınıza vuran bir yapıt, rip setsuko.

Very soft, easy to read book which leaves you wanting more of it. I enjoyed sentences which arose from unspoken questions, the very feelings.

Écrit en 1936,1937 (Showa).
Thème: amour, maladie, solitude, nature
Exploration: Rilke, neige, deuil

Livre très court. J'avoue avoir été ennuyée vers la moitié du récit, me disant que si l'auteur voulait faire un récit de l'intimité (tout se passe dans une seule chambre, pendant des jours et des mois), il aurait pu travailler un peu plus la psychologie des personnages. Mais en continuant ma lecture, j'ai compris que là ne résidait pas l'essentiel. Le dernier chapitre est d'une grande beauté et l'auteur est extrêmement doué dans la description de la neige et des paysages, ainsi que leur effet sur le coeur des gens sensibles à leur poésie.
