Shan Yin (selected Works of Kawabata Yasunari)
About This Novel
This book includes Kawabata Yasunari's three representative works "Celebrity", "Dancing Girl" and "Sound of the Mountain". Kawabata Yasunari, Japan's first Nobel Prize winner for literature, wrote many works throughout his life. Publishing his anthology first involves the selection and collection of texts. As a national-level professional publishing house for domestic literary publishing, the People's Literature Publishing House publishes Kawabata Yasunari's anthology, which also reflects the professionalism of literature. The three works selected in this book, "Celebrity", "Dancer" and "Sound of the Mountain", are masterpieces from Kawabata's creative prime. The contents of these three works are different. "Celebrity" tells the story of a Go player; "Dancer" reflects the uneasiness of post-war Japanese society through the love story of a dancer mother and daughter; and "Sound of the Mountain" is a representative of family novels in Japan's aging society after the war. The three novels not only have different story themes, but also different artistic ideas expressed, from which we can see the author's superb creative level. The translator of this book, Chen Dewen, started translating Japanese classic literature as early as the early 1980s. He has been immersed in Japanese literary translation experience for many years. He not only has in-depth research on Kawabata Yasunari's literature, but also has unique insights. He is the best choice to translate Kawabata's works. In this publication, the text has been specially revised to make it more concise and elegant.
