Synopsis "Snow Country (Vintage International) (in English)"

This masterpiece from the Nobel Prize-winning author and acclaimed writer of Thousand Cranes is a powerful tale of wasted love set amid the desolate beauty of western Japan. - "Kawabata's novels are among the most affecting and original works of our time." --The New York Times Book Review At an isolated mountain hot spring, with snow blanketing every surface, Shimamura, a wealthy dilettante meets Komako, a lowly geisha. She gives herself to him fully and without remorse, despite knowing that their passion cannot last and that the affair can have only one outcome. In chronicling the course of this doomed romance, Kawabata has created a story for the ages--a stunning novel dense in implication and exalting in its sadness.

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.
