Synopsis "The Silent cry (Serpent's Tail Classics) "

The Silent Cry traces the uneasy relationship between two brothers who return to their ancestral home, a village in densely forested western Japan. While one brother tries to sort out the after-effects of a friend's suicide and the birth of a retarded son, the other embarks on a quixotic mission to incite an uprising among the local youth. Oe's description of this brother's messianic struggle to save a disintegrating local culture and economy from the depredations of a Korean wheeler-dealer called "The Emperor of the Supermarkets" is as chillingly pertinent today as it was when first published in 1967. Powerful and daring, The Silent Cry is a thoroughly compelling classic of world literature. --Este texto se refiere a una edición agotada o no disponible de este título.

View Author's Page
Kenzaburo Oe (Ōse, Shikoku, 1935 - 2023) was an influential Japanese writer, Nobel Prize in Literature in 1994. He moved to Tokyo in 1954 to study French Literature at the University of Tokyo, where he was influenced by Sartre and existentialist philosophy. His extensive work, marked by existential anguish, post-Hiroshima Japanese identity, and the experience with his son Hikari's disability, merges grotesque realism with profound humanism. Ōe was a fierce critic of Japanese militarism and an advocate for pacifist values. His literature, often dark but always hopeful, explores human fragility and resilience in the face of the absurd.

Si bien el envío fue lento porque venía del Reino Unido, llegó unos días antes de la fecha estimada, así que bien. Lo único molesto es que venía con una etiqueta difícil de sacar en la parte trasera del libro. Aún no lo leo así que no puedo decir nada de la traducción. Por lo demás, el libro es precioso y llegó en buen estado :-)
