Yasunari Kawabata: The sleeping beauty

A look at the Japanese literature is worthwhile. First Tanizaki and it is this: Yasunari Kawabata: "The sleeping beauty" . Who's literary Reference to Gabriel Garcia Marquez ' "Memories of My Melancholy Whores" seeks will find something in the sleeping beauty . For Garcia Marquez love in a brothel, a 90 year old man sleeping in a fourteen-year-old girl. For the first time he's really in love, the girl does not touch, but hovers in the seventh heaven when he goes back on the road. In Kawabata "The sleeping beauty" old men go to a brothel where she lay sleeping beside young women (young, old, so between 16 and 20), in a deep sleep have been transferred, from which it at night, when old men to put them to bed and never wake up, they will never get to see who is beside them in bed. In the brothel, there is one rule: The girls must not be tainted.

We select five nights of the siebenundsechzigjährige Eguchi spends there. He enjoys the sight of the sleeping beauty, can absorb the scents of women. Yasunari Kawabata, it goes extremely well, to describe these girls sensual, but not distanzlos. Every Eguchi falls into their own Gedanken.Er thinks of women he has had, he thinks of his daughters and the woman he once had for a few nights. Life's Review, but also every night in the sleeper to increase the temptation to seduce the girl, is to deprive them of their innocence, where at much in this text stands out, what a ridiculous sight of it when old men next to young girls are and what would it be for a crime bebächtigen themselves defenseless girl. The view on the vulnerability of young women leads to dark fantasies in mental abyss. A book about the age, women, death and loneliness. It is through these deeper dimensions, Kawebatas novel stands out from Garcia Marquez's Melancholy Whores . Also convinced of the Japanese language. The Colombian wrote only a dreamy fairy tale.

Yasunari Kawabata (1899-1972) was awarded the 1968 Nobel Prize in Literature. His novella "snow country" (1937) was shortly after the publication already a classic.
