Beauty and Sadness by Yasunari Kawabata
review by susan deefholts Beauty and Sadness isn't a very long novel-206 pages, of largish, loosely arranged, text. It took me a day to read, and I'm generally a slow reader. Considering the thematic scope implied in the title, such brevity is, perhaps, ominous. The title of the book is misleading. At first, I had difficulty relating it to the plot, except in the most generic ways. Sure, there are some physically beautiful characters, and some beautiful scenes or emotions in the book. And yes, there are elements of sadness to it as well. But don't most books have these qualities? Aren't they part of storytelling?-aestheticization of life, of distress, of love and of hatred? Well, maybe that's the clue, since its creator, Yasunari Kawabata, seems quite conscious of these distortions in fiction. That is, in part, what the book is about.

yasunari kawabata – Biography. yasunari kawabata, son of a highlycultivated physician,was born in 1899 in Osaka. yasunari kawabata died in 1972 (suicide).
http://www.nobel.se/literature/laureates/1968/kawabata-bio.html
Yasunari Kawabata , son of a highly-cultivated physician, was born in 1899 in Osaka. After the early death of his parents he was raised in the country by his maternal grandfather and attended the Japanese public school. From 1920 to 1924, Kawabata studied at the Tokyo Imperial University, where he received his degree. He was one of the founders of the publication Bungei Jidai , the medium of a new movement in modern Japanese literature. Kawabata made his debut as a writer with the short story, Izu dancer , published in 1927. After several distinguished works, the novel Snow Country in 1937 secured Kawabata's position as one of the leading authors in Japan. In 1949, the publication of the serials Thousand Cranes and The Sound of the Mountain was commenced. He became a member of the Art Academy of Japan in 1953 and four years later he was appointed chairman of the P.E.N. Club of Japan. At several international congresses Kawabata was the Japanese delegate for this club. The Lake The Sleeping Beauty (1960) and The Old Capital (1962) belong to his later works, and of these novels

Der Wassergeist
Schnittpunkt zwischen Ost und West: Dem japanischen Literaturnobelpreisträger Yasunari Kawabata zum 100. Geburtstag
Als er 1972 Selbstmord beging, waren alle ratlos: Kein Abschiedsbrief, keine Erklärung, kurze Zeit vorher war er mit Freunden zusammengewesen, er hatte Verabredungen, Pläne gehabt. Man fand ihn an einem Sonntag abend in seinem Arbeitsapartment, das der 72jährige erst wenige Monate zuvor gekauft hatte, im benachbarten Sommerbadeort seiner Heimatstadt Kamakura. Yasunari Kawabata brachte sich durch das Einatmen von Leuchtgas um. Die einzelnen Kapitel dieser Familiengeschichte, in der es vor allem um die innere Welt des Protagonisten geht, wurden von 1949 bis 1958 in Zeitschriften veröffentlicht. Wie andere Werke Kawabatas auch, war dies kein Vorabdruck, wie wir ihn kennen, vielmehr entstand der Text von Folge zu Folge, wurde überarbeitet und weitererzählt, bis er schließlich als Buch erschien. Kawabata schrieb keine vorher festgelegte Geschichte, sondern entwikkelte den Stoff über Jahre hinweg aus einem Netzwerk verschiedener kurzer Episoden. In diesen Geschichten die so kurz sind, daß sie auf einen Handteller passen würden geht es um stille Empfindungen und irreale Hoffnungen, es sind Miniaturen, hinter denen sich Lebensentwürfe und Lebenslügen, wehmütige Liebessehnsüchte und erotische Obsessionen verbergen. Ein Mann fährt täglich mit dem Zug und beobachtet dabei ein schönes Schulmädchen. Er denkt über sie nach, stattet die Unbekannte in seiner Phantasie mit Herkunft und Geschichte aus, bis er plötzlich Zeuge wird eines Abschieds zwischen ihr und einem älteren Mädchen. Hinter wenigen Zeilen nur verbirgt der Autor eine innige Liebesgeschichte zwischen diesen beiden. In dem Moment der Trennung erkennt man den dauernden Schmerz, der ihr Leben überschatten wird.

'Really, even I know that much,' the girl retorted." "He wondered 'Who would be with her the rest of the night?'" "She was a child, a mere child, a child who could run out naked into the sun and stand there on her tiptoes in her delight at seeing a friend." "I took the book happily, a certain hope in my mind." "I had come at nineteen to think of myself as a misanthrope, a lonely misfit, and it was my depression at the thought that had driven me to this Izu trip." "I had explained that I would have to go back to Tokyo on the morning boat." "As we came to the pier I saw with a quick jump of the heart that the little dancer was sitting at the water's edge."

    Kawabata, Yasunari 1899-1972, Japanese novelist. His first major work, The Izu Dancer, was published in 1925. He came to be a leader of the school of Japanese writers that propounded a lyrical and impressionistic style, in opposition to the proletarian literature of the 1920s. Kawabata's melancholy novels often treat, in a delicate, oblique fashion, sexual relationships between men and women. For example, Snow Country (tr. 1956), probably his best-known work in the West, depicts the affair of an aging geisha and an insensitive Tokyo businessman. All Kawabata's works are distinguished by a masterful, and frequently arresting, use of imagery. Among his works in English translation are the novels Thousand Cranes (tr. 1959), The Sound of the Mountain (tr. 1970), and The Lake (tr. 1974), and the volume of short stories, The House of the Sleeping Beauties and Other Stories (tr. 1969). In 1968, Kawabata became the first Japanese author to receive the Nobel Prize in literature. Four years later, in declining health and probably depressed by the suicide of his friend Yukio Mishima, he committed suicide.
