Kawabata Yasunari From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Kautilya) Next (Kayak) Yasunari Kawabata Kawabata Yasunari ) (June 14, 1899 – April 16, 1972) was a Japanese novelist whose spare, lyrical and subtly shaded prose made him the first Japanese to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968. His works, which have enjoyed broad and lasting appeal, are still widely read internationally. Kawabata combined ancient Japanese literary tradition with modern language in his lyrical works. The formlessness which characterizes much of his writing reflects the fluid composition of renga , Japanese linked verse of the fifteenth century. During his life, Kawabata wrote more than one hundred “palm of the hand” stories, usually two or three pages long, which he said expressed the essence of his art. His best-known novel, Yukiguni Snow Country ), is the story of a middle-aged esthete, Shimamura, and a forlorn country geisha, Komako, set in an isolated hot spring resort west of the central mountain range, where the winters are long, dark and silent.

Yasunari Kawabata - Tausend Kraniche Originaltitel: Sembazuru Roman. dtv Der TaschenbuchVerlag 1956 109 Seiten, ISBN: 3423110805 Ein junger Mann wird von der fr�heren Geliebten seines Vaters zu einer Teezeremonie eingeladen. Er war auch zuvor regelm��ig eingeladen worden, diesen Aufforderungen jedoch nach dem Tod seines Vaters nicht mehr gefolgt. Diesmal jedoch wurde er speziell gebeten zu erscheinen - man m�chte ihm eine junge Dame vorstellen. Bei dieser Zeremonie ist jedoch nicht nur besagte junge Dame anwesend - ganz �berraschend trifft er auch auf eine weitere Geliebte seines Vaters, die Nachfolgerin der ersten, der er bis zu seinem Tod sehr verbunden blieb. Eine peinliche Begegnung f�r den jungen Mann - zumal ihm diese Frau an diesem Abend noch auflauert. �berraschenderweise merkt er, was seinen Vater so sehr zu dieser Frau hingezogen hatte. Eine ganz besondere Verbindung entsteht zwischen den beiden - und ihrer Tochter. Eine Entwicklung, die ganz und gar nicht in die Pl�ne der lange schon verabschiedeten Frau passt - und die sie auch weitgehendst zu vereiteln sucht... Meine Meinung ist recht zwiesp�ltig. Einerseits handelt es sich bei den "Tausend Kranichen" um ein Buch mit wundersch�ner, poetischer Sprache, liebevoll-detailliert geschilderte Szenen, die anmutig und geschmeidig miteinander verkn�pft werden.

Although he refused to participate in the militaristic fervour accompanying World War II , he was also unimpressed with the political reforms in Japan afterwards. The war was definitely one of the most important influences on him (along with the death of all his family while he was young); he said shortly afterwards that from then on he would only be able to write elegies. He committed suicide in 1972. Many theories have been advanced as to his reasons, among them poor health, a possible illicit love affair, or the shock caused by the suicide of his friend

Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Yasunari Kawabata (1899-1972) In 1968, Yasunari Kawabata became the first Japanese novelist to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. His works combined the beauty of old Japan with modernist trends, and his prose blended realism with surrealistic visions. Kawabata's books have been described as "melancholy lyricism" and often explore the place of sex within culture, and within individual lives. Over the course of his life, Kawabata wrote many novels and more than a hundred two or three page stories. He called these his "tanagokoro no shosetsu" (palm-of-the-hand stories), and said that they expressed the essence of his art. An example of one of these stories is Ki-no Ue ( Up in the Tree , 1962). Here, the main characters, a girl and a boy named Michiko and Keisuke, both fourth graders, share a secret. Keisuke tells Michiko that his parents quarrel, and his father has another woman. He once climbed a tree in the garden so that his mother couldn't take him and go back to her parents' house. Since then he has been up in that tree a lot. "The "secret" of their being up in the tree had continued for almost two years now. Where the thick trunk branched out near the top, the two could sit comfortably. Michiko, straddling one branch, leaned back against another. There were days when little birds came and days when the wind sang through the pine needles. Although they weren't that high off the ground, these two little lovers felt as if they were in a completely different world, far away from the earth."

His works have enjoyed broad international appeal and are still widely read. Contents Biography Artistic career Notes Selected works ... edit Biography Born in Osaka Japan into a well-established doctor's family, Yasunari was orphaned when he was four, after which he lived with his grandparents. He had an older sister who was taken in by an aunt, and whom he met only once thereafter, at the age of ten (July 1909) (she died when he was 11). Kawabata's grandmother died when he was seven (September 1906), and his grandfather when he was fifteen (May 1914). Having lost all close relatives, he moved in with his mother's family (the Kurodas). However, in January 1916, he moved into a boarding house near the junior high school (comparable to a modern high school) to which he had formerly commuted by train. Through many of Kawabata’s works the sense of distance in his life is represented. He often gives the impression that the characters have built up a wall around them and moves them into isolation. In a 1934 published work Kawabata wrote: “I feel as though I have never held a woman’s hand in a romantic sense[…] Am I a happy man deserving of pity?”. Indeed this does not have to be taken literally, but it does show the type of emotional insecurity that Kawabata felt, especially experiencing two painful love affairs at a young age.

I suoi primi interessi letterari furono dedicati all'opera classica Genji monogatari di Murasaki Shikibu e alla stesura di racconti. Negli anni in cui Kawabata iniziò la sua attività di scrittore, il mondo letterario giapponese andava sempre più approfondendo la conoscenza della letteratura occidentale. Ciò portò, all'interno delle opere di Kawabata e di altri autori contemporanei, alla commistione di spunti presi dalle avanguardie letterarie europee e di elementi della tradizione giapponese. La fascinazione di Kawabata per l'occidente è particolarmente visibile nella sua attività letteraria degli anni venti iniziata sotto la protezione del più maturo scrittore ed editore Kikuchi Kan (菊池寛).
