I have no problem, "Island of the Dolls" in the gallery great marriage novels have to make. This novel conveys timeless and will always be readable and hopefully stay with us in the West always present, although I am already graumelt to see these precious 150 pages to again in antique boxes. The novel is out the Japanese were translated into American, Curt Meyer-Klason gave us the German version. We did not know how the novel would seem to us in Japanese. The German translation, I think that's great. I use this language only as tender and full call of grace, so delicate, we cherry (or cherry blossoms are in respect to Japan, even a cliché?). Despite this linguistic grace of the novel is far versüßlicht. I can imagine the German translation could really teach about the atmosphere as the Japanese original.
The beginning of the novel already splendid. Kaname and Misako is unable to make decisions then how in matters of divorce.
"Careful her look evasive, and he looked at her. In fact, he looked just their clothes, trying to guess is an intention that ermochte ease him of his decision. "
Here we have the estrangement between Kaname and Misako, we screened but not only the clothing of a woman, but the erotic is, imagine that the viewer wants, which is under clothing. But this couple is the erotic verpflogen long ago, is a physical attraction no longer exists. Therefore, Tanizaki writes on the first page of a book so completely unerotisierend and forwards in this way the theme of the novel one. Precisely this behavior that small gestures such as in the quote, have their special charm.
Tanizaki theme in his novels, the contrast between tradition and modernity. The inefficiency in matters of divorce to make a decision is, in the very old tradition that embodies Misakos father. Concerns are obvious. How does the father react? The father might feel compelled because of the public opinion to deny his daughter when a divorce would be public. So the couple live together for appearances of pleasure and can not say that marriage actually lived out long ago is. Kanan is the one that is particularly the conflict between tradition and modernity. He wants to break tradition, but this does not finish. He has desöfteren attention to the Western lifestyle, where the divorce rate is very high (please note, the novel was created in 1929) and criticizes the Edoepoche, the time period of two and a half centuries before the Restoration of 1868, the period when the shoguns (military dictators ) ruled.
"The Edokultur was characterized by roughness of the merchant class, and where you looked, everywhere have responded to the haze of the market place ... the mere fact that he was a child of the commercial world, it had its shortcomings, their vulgarity and their overwhelming greed feel particularly clear. His response was his pursuit of the sublime and ethereal ... "
In females, he sought and in the art for the divine. Even though he was nowhere, climbed just because of his longing.
Kaname overcame a painful feeling of loneliness and poverty, when he thought of the emotional life of the Japanese, which just lacks the desire for worship.
Herrlich Kanan I find excuses and excuses, as the problem hinschiebt before him, his son by the project of separation . Tell Here the tragedy is combined with the comic.
The novel is absolutely worth reading, and we experience so some of the tradition of Japanese puppet theater (Bunraku).
