About This Novel

Loss is the only way to the end of life, and it is also the only way to return to the true nature. "Sleeping Beauty" is the culmination of Kawabata Yasushi's 60th birthday. Through the five experiences of the old man Eguchi to Sleeping Beauty's house, six sleeping beauties, and three dreams, the novel tells the story of people's helplessness towards aging and death in old age, their inferiority complex towards old men and their nostalgia for youth. The whole work has a transcendent and mysterious beauty that transcends time and space. It integrates Kawabata's lifelong philosophical meditation and guides people to look at the passing time with a heart of repentance, return to the beauty of innocence with a heart of redemption, and have infinite yearning for the beauty of freedom. The old man's ravings are a person's lonely recollections of youth. Life is fleeting, only infinite silence and immortality remain forever.
