Thousand Cranes

52,00 

It’s an important work of Kawabata about desire and passion, saturated with melancholy. The symbolic aspect of the relation between the young hero and his late father’s ex-lover (and later, her daughter as well) can be interpreted through the lens of the changes happening in post-war Japan. It was then that social roles and patriarchy started being questioned, and there was a gradual departure from traditional rituals. In the book, the metaphor of these changes are numerous scenes referring to the tea ceremony. Thousand Cranes is a beautiful novel that approaches the subject of societal metamorphose in a multi-layer way.
