About This Novel
"Sleeping Beauty" is a stunning masterpiece by Nobel Prize-winning writer Kawabata Yasunari, which shows Kawabata Yasunari's unique and weird spiritual world. "An old man Eguchi who was nearly seventy years old went to a secret inn to spend the night, while the young beauty here took medicine and fell into a coma without knowing anything..." The old man Eguchi in Kawabata Yasunari's works reveals a sense of terror of approaching death, a sense of sadness for the loss of youth, and at the same time mixed with a sense of regret for his own immoral behavior. This theme of indulgence, temptation and atonement is expressed in a surreal and grotesque way. The description of the old man's treatment of Sleeping Beauty is not rough, but quietly bursts out the original desire and strength of life. It can be said that this is the main theme of life and also the variations of life.
