Purple Picture Classic Library: Kawabata Yasunari·waltz of Flowers
About This Novel
"Waltz of Flowers" is a collection of short stories by Kawabata Yasunari. In addition to the representative work "Waltz of Flowers" on the theme of first love, it also contains three short stories ("Italian Song", "Morning Clouds" and "Coal Tit") that are missing in other Kawabata translations in China. It also exclusively includes important documents for in-depth understanding of Kawabata Yasunari: Yukio Mishima's long commentary. Hoshidae and Suzuko, two girls with completely different backgrounds and personalities, developed a close attachment to each other while studying ballet, and at the same time developed their first love with the male dancer Nanjo. The unique first love of two girls bloomed side by side in a waltz with a brilliance rarely seen in the world. Different from Kawabata's common sad tone of "a girl destroyed by her first love", "Waltz of Flowers" is a hymn of love and life, which can be read to gain unprecedented excitement and healing.
