About This Novel
On the pounding Izu Mountain Road, a young man from Tokyo met a group of artists and they walked together. The young man was attracted by Xun, a pure, lovely, charming and charming dancer who was traveling with him, and a ray of tenderness sprouted in his heart. He seemed to see a ray of light, and his heart, which had been troubled for a long time, suddenly forgot about gains and losses. The stubbornness and awkwardness of the past and the humiliating feeling of being given charity suddenly disappeared. The two have never expressed their feelings, but in the fleeting daily life, they have accumulated feelings of mutual admiration. Full of youthful poetry, the lyricism reveals Kawabata-style sadness, but only lightly. This novel became a masterpiece of Japanese youth literature. The book includes "The Dancing Girl of Izu", "Snow Country", "Years", "Thousands of Cranes", "Thousands of Birds on Blue Waves", "Ancient Capital" and "Beauty and Sorrow". It also comes with the author's chronology, Nobel Prize award speech and speech, and a long introduction by the translator.
