Flowers Are Not Sleeping (translated by Hefeng Cong)
About This Novel
"Flowers Are Not Sleeping" is a collection of classic works by the Japanese literary master Kawabata Yasunari. It includes essays such as "Flowers Are Not Sleeping", "I am in Beautiful Japan", "The Existence and Discovery of Beauty", and "The Beauty of Japanese Literature". These four articles on literature and aesthetic topics elaborate on the "beauty" in Kawabata Yasunari's heart, emphasizing his creative outlook based on the sense of disillusionment and vanity of uncertainty about life and death, as well as his admiration for the culture of the Heian Dynasty. His Zen thoughts and literary concepts are very oriental. In addition, short stories and novels such as "The Ballad of Wings", "Crystal Fantasy", "Snow", "Autumn Rain" and "Parent's Heart" are also included, which also reflect his active literary exploration and experimentation, inherit and carry forward the Japanese and Oriental "mono-sorrow" tradition, and reflect the essence of his Oriental aesthetics.
