( ) LREnglishTeach | Jan 3, 2022 | Kawabata crafted a book with remarkable depth and eloquence worthy of reading again. ( ) LREnglishTeach | Jan 3, 2022 | Read not long after Dandelions and I have to say I found Snow Country much more opaque. I could gather together the bones of the narrative but I think there was a wealth of subtlety I missed. Also, the symbology wasn't so easy to interpret, though I did find the nature writing quite beautiful. The theme of wasted lives touched on in the novel was moving but I didn't have strong feelings for the tragedy involved. Seeing as how this is considered one of his major works I feel my reading didn't do it justice but whether I will re-read in the hope of better appreciating it remains to be seen.

They fall in love but it cannot last, and the separation becomes inevitable. A meditation on the fleeting nature of human feelings, exalting sadness. (  )1  Marcos_Augusto | Feb 19, 2021 |

With the brushstroke suggestiveness and astonishing grasp of motive that won him the Nobel Prize for Literature, Yasunari Kawabata tells a story of wasted love set amid the desolate beauty of western Japan, the snowiest region on earth. It is there, at an isolated mountain hotspring, that the wealthy sophisticate Shimamura meets the geisha Komako, who gives herself to him without regrets, knowing that their passion cannot last. Shimamura is a dilettante of the feelings; Komako has staked her life on them. Their affair can have only one outcome. Yet, in chronicling its doomed course, one of Japan's greatest modern writers creates a novel dense in implication and exalting in its sadness. No library descriptions found. |
