«La casa de las bellas durmientes» is the short novel by Yasunari Kawabata, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
The elderly Eguchi arrives at a discreet house where young women remain asleep under an induced slumber, at the disposal of older men. The only rule is to share the bed with them without waking them or crossing boundaries. Over the nights, Eguchi recalls the women in his life and confronts old age, desire, and death.
