Synopsis "Kioto (in Spanish)"

Kioto, de Yasunari Kawabata, autor de otros libros como La Bailarina de Izu o El rumor de la montaña, es una deliciosa novela de narrativa extranjera del ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura del año 1968. La novela nos sumerge en la cultura japonesa mezclando a la perfección la belleza, tradición y erotismo de la cultura asiática. Kioto es una de las obras maestras del autor. Fue citada explícitamente en el discurso de concesión del Premio Nobel.
 
Chieko es la hija de Takichiro Sada, un prestigioso diseñador de kimonos. Desde pequeña ha creído que una geisha la abandonó siendo una recién nacida, pero al cumplir veinte años, por azar, descubre la verdad: sus padres adoptivos, ansiosos por tener un bebé, la hallaron sola bajo unos cerezos… y se la llevaron. El amor que siente por ellos colma su corazón de tal modo que nunca ha tenido deseos de buscar a sus verdaderos progenitores, pero ahora la situación ha cambiado de forma inesperada, y Chieko deberá encontrar su propia identidad y su lugar en el mundo. Con el trasfondo de la ciudad de Kioto, la antigua capital de Japón, Yasunari Kawabata describe en esta sublime y delicada novela la transmisión de la belleza y la tradición de una generación a la siguiente, y confronta las consecuencias de la posguerra japonesa con una ambivalente mezcla de fascinación y resentimiento. Una novela inolvidable de un Premio Nobel polémico, controvertido y genial.

Yasunari Kawabata (Osaka, Japan, 1899 – 1972) was one of the great writers of the 20th century and the first Japanese to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature (1968), an award given for the delicacy of his prose and his ability to capture the essence of the Japanese spirit

Marked from childhood by orphanhood and deep loneliness, Kawabata expressed in his works a melancholic sensitivity and a unique aesthetic that combines tradition and modernity. Educated in Japanese Literature at the Imperial University of Tokyo, he was the founder of the magazine Bungei Jidai (The Artistic Era), the voice of the Japanese neosensualist avant-garde

Among his most emblematic novels are "Snow Country" (Yukiguni), "Thousand Cranes" (Senbazuru), "The Sound of the Mountain" (Yama no Oto), as well as "The Master of Go", "The House of the Sleeping Beauties", "Kyoto" and "Beauty and Sadness". His subtle and poetic narrative explores themes such as ephemeral beauty, loneliness, and the passage of time

In addition to the Nobel, Kawabata received distinctions such as the Goethe-Medaille (Germany, 1959), the Order of Arts and Letters of France, and the Order of Culture of Japan. He was president of the Japanese PEN Club, promoting Japanese literature worldwide
