In 1909, the young intellectual Enrique left Gorizia, a city with a mixed population and culture in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and took his ancient Greek texts with him across the ocean alone to the Pampas and lived a life of herding. His closest friend Carlo, a philosopher and poet, taught him to find a true life free from society's lies. But in his search for this unattainable goal, Enrico destroyed every chance of a normal life; thirteen years later, even after his return to the Istrian seaside, his life became increasingly lonely, and his attempts at connection and meaningful love were thwarted.

Kawabata Yasunari's masterpiece and Nobel Prize-winning work. The representative works of Japanese post-war literature use words to outline the beauty of color, the centuries-old circulation of an ancient tea set, and a story of abnormal love involving two generations. They show the conflict between love and morality. They also depict the psychology very delicately, showing a scene of extreme beauty and sadness. "Thousand Cranes" is a short story collection by Kawabata Yasunari, which includes "Thousand Cranes" and the sequel to "Thousand Cranes", "A Chidori on the Blue Waves". The story mainly tells that Mitani Kikuharu's father had an affair with a woman named Kurimoto Chikako during his lifetime, and later fell in love with Mrs. Ota, but was alienated from the former because of the latter. Four years after his father's death, Kikuji and Mrs. Ota met unexpectedly at a tea party held by Chikako Kurimoto. Because Mrs. Ota missed Kikuji's father, she actually moved on to his son Kikuji, and Kikuji also accepted this immoral love. However, Mrs. Ota drank medicine and committed suicide out of guilt. Mrs. Ota's daughter Fumiko gradually fell in love with Kikuji during her contact with him. Chikako introduced her female disciple Yukiko to Kikuji and tried every means to bring them together. Wenzi was so ashamed of her mother that she finally left without saying goodbye.

The condensation of Kawabata Yasunari's literature, a miracle in just one page. Mysterious, illusory, cruel and beautiful. This book selects more than fifty novels: the autobiographical novel "The Bone Picker", which tells the memories of the death of his grandfather; "Glass", which describes the miserable fate of the bottom workers in the glass factory; "Station in the Rain", a sad story caused by the vanity of wives, etc. These novels either show Kawabata's own life as an orphan and the emotional twists and turns, or express his deep sympathy for the people at the bottom, or philosophically think about the psychology of men and women in the world, fully demonstrating Kawabata's rich poetry, fresh and keen feelings, and pessimistic attitude towards life. Among my works, the ones that make people miss and love them the most and the ones that I want to give to others the most are actually these novels. --Kawabata Yasunari
