About This Novel
In order to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, the young man took his wife and dog to the lush grassy Musashino to relax and settle down. However, after retreating to a remote place, anxiety and hallucinations often attacked him... The work shows the changing seasons of Musashino in a poetic style, profoundly expressing the melancholy, anguish and hesitation of urban youth facing youth, and is full of decadence and ennui at the end of the century. "Pastoral Melancholy" is a masterpiece by Haruo Sato, a master of Japanese aesthetic literature. Its prose-like graceful style and unique aesthetic expression are inspired by the mysterious aestheticism of Oscar Wilde and Edgar Allan Poe, as well as the Monogatari literature represented by Aki Ueda. At the same time, it is its own school of its own and has a profound influence on Chinese and Japanese writers such as Dazai Osamu and Yu Dafu. This book contains Haruo Sato's classic masterpieces "Pastoral Trilogy", "Pastoral Melancholy", "Spanish Dog House", "Aju and Her Brother" and "Beautiful Street Market" and "Open the Window", two masterpieces with alternative styles.
