Yasunari Kawabata (川端 康成) was a Japanese short story writer and novelist whose spare, lyrical, subtly-shaded prose works won him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968, the first Japanese author to receive the award. His works have enjoyed broad international appeal and are still widely read today. Nobel Lecture: 1968 http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prize...
El lirismo característico de kawabata, la simpleza poética y la musicalidad de la narración sin únicos. lo termine de leer en la madrugada del domingo 5 de octubre. Me dejó con ganas de más, pero ya estoy acostumbrado.
Real rating: 9.8/10 This story may not be Kawabata's legacy or his great masterpiece, but it is Kawabata doing what he does best. The tale of a man uncertain with his life going to onsens. The writing and prose is an imagists dream and it flows with a simplistic structure that drives home the reality of all those involved in the tale. It is reality or as close to it as fiction can be before it drifts off into the doldrums of overly stylized journalism, that ironically bears only the faintest hints of truth.
Maravilloso. Kawabata desprende lirismo delicado con un relato interior y profundo. Las descripciones te trasladan a los sentimientos y emociones del propio personaje, y según afirman los expertos, del propio autor. En un mundo donde buscamos la trama argumental como algo trepidante y rápido, aquí encontramos la pausa, la reflexión y la expresión del alma por encima de la de la realidad externa.
