Synopsis "Mil grullas (in Spanish)"

Intriga, sensualidad y el escenario íntimo de la ceremonia del té. En la ciudad de Kamakura, una mujer que oculta una mancha en uno de los pechos manipula los preciosos objetos de la ceremonia del té, que conecta a distintas generaciones con un erotismo sutil. Al ingresar en el recinto donde se celebra el rito, el narrador advierte a un trío de mujeres que le dan la espalda. Todas serán vértices de sucesivas rotaciones amorosas. Yasunari Kawabata explora en esta novela la fuerza del deseo, el asedio del remordimiento y la sensualidad de la nostalgia. Una bellísima historia en la que cada gesto tiene un significado y hasta el más leve roce o suspiro puede iluminar vidas enteras, a veces en el preciso ins-tante en que son destruidas. “Aquí, la casita del jardín, donde se practica la ceremonia del té, espacio preservado donde los tazones se cargan de una emotividad que desafía el tiempo y en el cual el rito convoca a un eros que se vierte en cada gesto, contaminando a sucesivas generaciones de amantes.” —Amalia Sato.

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
