Synopsis "Maestro de go (in Spanish)"

Hacia 1938, el jugador de go Sh"sai Honnimbo se encuentra próximo a morir. Es el Gran Maestro de su época. El tiempo de Sh"sai llega a su fin mientras se inicia el ascenso del joven Otake. Un día de pleno verano, Sh"sai y Otake se aíslan del mundo para enfrentarse en un campeonato que dejará a uno solo en la cima y marcará para siempre la vida de ambos. Considerada una de sus mejores obras por Yasunari Kawabata, esta novela combina la atención minuciosa al detalle y la visión panorámica de una cultura en plena transición. El maestro de go es la biografía ficticia de un hombre que va al encuentro de su destino con extraordinaria dignidad, una obra impar del Premio Nobel de Literatura 1968. "Este escritor hace un trabajo valiosísimo al rescatar no sólo la tradición japonesa que se desvanece en el proceso histórico de la modernización y la occidentalización, sino también al recuperar la posibilidad de hacer arte aun frente a las experiencias trágicas". "Anna Kazumi Stahl

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
