Synopsis "En el Lago (Ne) (in Spanish)"

Una novela que desvela los rincones más profundos del deseo y la obsesión. En Karuizawa, popular lugar de veraneo, Gimpei Momoi se somete a una sesión de masajes. Despedido tras un escándalo de su puesto de profesor de Lengua en un colegio secundario, odia sus pies deformes casi con la misma intensidad con que se siente atraído por las jovencitas. El lago, con su superficie donde relámpagos y fogatas anuncian lo ominoso, lugar del primer amor, del errante fantasma del padre y también término de comparación de imágenes intensas, es el generador por excelencia de sensaciones.

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
