This book brings together three essays by the renowned Japanese author Jun'ichirō Tanizaki. In 'In Praise of Shadows', Tanizaki explores traditional Japanese aesthetics and its appreciation for twilight and subtlety, contrasting it with Western modernity and its obsession with light and clarity. 'About Indolence' and 'Love and Passion' complement this reflection, offering a deep vision of Japanese culture and sensibility. An essential work to understand the beauty of the imperfect and the ephemeral.
Jun'ichirō Tanizaki was a Japanese author who is considered to be one of the most prominent figures in modern Japanese literature. The tone and subject matter of his work range from shocking depictions of sexuality and destructive erotic obsessions to subtle portrayals of the dynamics of family life within the context of the rapid changes in 20th-century Japanese society. Frequently, his stories are narrated in the context of a search for cultural identity in which the West and Japanese tradition are juxtaposed.
