Immerse yourself in the story of an obsession with 'The Lake' by Yasunari Kawabata. This book narrates the search for an unattainable perfection and an elusive beauty, admired from a distance. The protagonist, a homeless and fugitive man, is driven by an insatiable desire towards unknown women, hiding behind them as he longs for the unattainable.
With an evocative prose, Kawabata explores the nature of obsession and the pursuit of beauty in a world full of contrasts. This edition of Plaza & Janés, published in 1976, invites you to reflect on the limits of perfection and the complexity of human desires.
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.
