«La casa de las bellas durmientes» is the short novel by Yasunari Kawabata, published by Ediciones Orbis in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The elderly Eguchi pays to spend the night beside sleeping young women, whom he must not touch. Each encounter immerses him in memories of women from his past and in meditations on old age, loneliness, desire, and mortality. The narrative envelops the reader in a melancholic, dreamlike atmosphere, very much in keeping with Kawabata's sensibility.
The cover indicates the Nobel Prize in Literature awarded to the author in 1968.
