«La casa de las bellas durmientes» is the short novel by Yasunari Kawabata, published by Noguer in paperback (155 pages, in Spanish).
Old Eguchi visits a secret house several times where old men sleep beside drugged young women, without having sexual relations. As he contemplates the sleeping bodies, he evokes the women in his life and recalls his past. The novel interweaves eroticism, old age, memory and death in an almost unreal atmosphere.
The work originally appeared in 1961, and the Spanish-language edition was published in 2005.
Yasunari Kawabata was a Japanese novelist and short story writer whose spare, lyrical, subtly-shaded prose works won him the 1968 Nobel Prize in Literature, the first Japanese author to receive the award. His works have enjoyed broad international appeal and are still widely read.
