About This Novel

This book contains four of Kawabata Yasunari's most famous masterpieces, "Snow Country", "Ancient Capital", "Thousand-Feathered Crane" and "Hachidori". Kawabata Yasunari is the first Japanese writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. As a national professional publishing house for domestic literary publishing, People's Literature Publishing House publishes Kawabata Yasunari's anthology, which also reflects the professionalism of literature. Kawabata Yasunari has many works, so the selection and collection of texts are very important. The "Snow Country", "Ancient Capital" and "Thousand-Feathered Crane" selected in this book are not only Kawabata's representative works, but also spanned the author's prime period of creation in terms of creation time. From them, we can see the essence and peak of the author's creation. "Hachidori" is in the same vein as "Thousand-Feathered Crane" in terms of content, allowing readers to have a more comprehensive understanding of Kawabata Yasunari's works. This kind of arrangement is not found in other anthologies. The translator of this book, Chen Dewen, is a senior Japanese literature translator who graduated from Peking University's Japanese major in the 1960s. He began translating Japanese classic literature as early as the early 1980s. His years of experience in Japanese literature translation have given him not only in-depth research on Kawabata Yasunari's literature, but also unique insights. He is the best candidate to translate Kawabata's works.
