Synopsis "palm-of-the-hand stories (in English)"

Recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1968, the novelist Yasunari Kawabata felt the essence of his art was to be found not in his longer works but in a series of short stories--which he called Palm-of-the-Hand Stories--written over the span of his career. In them we find loneliness, love, and the passage of time, demonstrating the range and complexity of a true master of short fiction.

View Author's Page
(Osaka, 1899 - Kanagawa, 1972). Huérfano a los tres años, insomne perpetuo, cineasta en su juventud, lector voraz tanto de los clásicos como de las vanguardias europeas, fue un solitario empedernido. Escribió más de doce mil páginas de novelas, cuentos y artículos, y es uno de los escritores japoneses más populares dentro y fuera de su país. Mantuvo una profunda amistad con el escritor Yukio Mishima, del que fue su mentor y difusor. Recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura en el año 1968. Entre sus obras, muchas de ellas marcadas por la soledad y el erotismo, destacan La bailarina de Izu, El maestro de Go, Lo bello y lo triste, Mil grullas, País de nieve, El rumor de la montaña e Historias de la palma de la mano. Kawabata se suicidó a los setenta y dos años.
