Libro inédito de Yasunari Kawabata, el legendario Nobel japonés.


El presente libro contiene diez relatos con historias entrelazadas, a veces porque los protagonistas comparten el mismo nombre, otras, por su carácter sutilmente sobrenatural, y casi siempre porque tienen el amor --y el dolor que nace de él-- como tema central. Inédito hasta ahora en castellano, Seix Barral lo presenta en esta oportunidad en traducción directa del japonés.


Cada uno de estos relatos fue primero publicado en revistas literarias entre 1951 y 1956, años en los que la pobreza y la desolación de un Japón en ruinas traumatizaron a una generación abatida por la derrota en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Este es el contexto histórico en el que el autor desarrolla estas historias. En ellas, como en muchas de sus obras posteriores, la guerra y la rendición de Japón marcan un antes y un después en la vida de los personajes y es un hecho histórico que está omnipresente como paisaje de fondo.


"El relato que abre este libro, La luna en el agua, es una obra de arte en sí misma y puede que contenga lo mejor y más representativo de Kawabata: lo extraordinario en lo ordinario, la dicotomía entre realidad e ilusión, la enfermedad como una visión peculiar del mundo, la locura, la belleza sutil de los detalles que podrían pasar fácilmente inadvertidos, el amor de una mujer." --Tana Oshima


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


An unpublished book by Yasunari Kawabata, the legendary Japanese Nobel laureate.


This book contains ten stories with interconnected narratives, sometimes because the protagonists share the same name, other times due to their subtly supernatural nature, and almost always because they revolve around love--and the pain that stems from it--as a central theme. Previously unpublished in Spanish, Seix Barral now presents it in this edition with a direct translation from Japanese.


Each of these stories was first published in literary magazines between 1951 and 1956, years during which the poverty and desolation of a war-torn Japan traumatized a generation burdened by the defeat in World War II. This is the historical context in which the author sets these narratives. In them, as in many of his later works, the war and Japan's surrender mark a before and after in the characters' lives, serving as an ever-present backdrop.


"The opening story in this book, The Moon in the Water, is a masterpiece in itself and might encapsulate the best and most representative qualities of Kawabata: the extraordinary in the ordinary, the dichotomy between reality and illusion, illness as a peculiar worldview, madness, the subtle beauty of details that might easily go unnoticed, the love of a woman." --Tana Oshima

Used shoes
Size: 10 Little Kid, Color: Glitter Clear W/Strap, Size: 10 Little Kid, Color: Glitter Clear W/Strap
If I could give this zero stars, I absolutely would. I ordered these shoes expecting them to be brand new since I paid full price and never selected any “used” option. What I received instead were clearly heavily worn shoes there were visible signs of use that you simply wouldn’t expect from a new product.

Pricey but worth it
To say my daughter loves shoes would be an understatement and whenever you throw in a fun color and glitter to the mix, it only exponentially increases the love and excitement every time she puts on these shoes! The quality of the shoes are outstanding, they provide support in the right places and so far have been surprisingly durable (for a toddler that’s saying something)! This is the second pair of this shoe that I’ve purchased, the first was a pair of the clear glitter style. They are very cute shoes and the color matched the pictured on the website very well, which was great since I was trying to complete a “Princess Anna” look with a previously purchased dress. Note: I do suggest to size up one size, because in my experience they run a little small.
