«La Danseuse d'Izu» is a volume of five stories by Yasunari Kawabata, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (124 pages, in French).
The book brings together five tales set in early twentieth-century Japan. Kawabata portrays solitary characters —an old man living among birds, an invalid who contemplates the world in a mirror— and shows how elegance and beauty conceal a melancholy full of nuance.
Translated from Japanese. The title story was originally published in 1926. Kawabata received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1968.
For readers of classic Japanese fiction who appreciate lyrical and melancholic texts.
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.
