Synopsis "The Maids "

A major discovery: Tanizaki’s wonderful final novel―now available as a paperbackThe Maids, Tanizaki's final novel, sparkles like a jewel. Over the years―before, during, and after WWII―many women work in the pampered, elegant household of the famous author Chikura Raikichi, his wife, and her younger sister. Though the family's quite well-to-do, the house is small; the proximity of the maids helps perhaps to explain Raikichi's extremely close, and somewhat eroticized, observation of all their little ways. In the sensualist patrician Raikichi, Tanizaki offers a richly ironic self-portrait, but he presents as well an exquisitely nuanced chronicle of change and loss: centuries' old values and manners are vanishing, and here―in the evanescent beauty of all the small gestures and intricacies of private life―we find a whole world passing away.

Tanizaki Junichiro (Tokio, 1886-1965), piedra angular de la literatura contemporánea japonesa y eterno candidato al premio Nobel, cursó estudios literarios en la Universidad Imperial. Autor fundamental para el entendimiento mutuo entre Oriente y Occidente, conoció en profundidad la literatura occidental y se dejó empapar por su influencia: Poe, Baudelaire y sobre todo Oscar Wilde. En su etapa inicial destacan obras imprecindibles como El amor de un idiota y Arenas movedizas. Al final de la década de 1920, Tanizaki se trasladó a Kansai, donde descubrió la cultura clásica nipona y la belleza del Japón premoderno. Publicó por entonces La historia de un ciego, Sobre Shunkin y La vida enmascarada del señor de Musashi, obras que beben de la tradición japonesa clásica. Durante la guerra, sufrió la censura en trabajos como Las hermanas Makioka, que se convertirá en uno de los grandes éxitos de posguerra. En 1949 recibió la Orden del Mérito Cultural en reconocimiento a su labor literaria. Prolífico escritor, Tanizaki continuó trabajando de manera incansable hasta su muerte.
