«Pays de neige» is the novel by Yasunari Kawabata, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (190 pages, in French).
The novel recounts Shimamura's three stays at a mountain hot-spring resort, where he experiences a passionate love and an almost purifying experience. The snowy landscape and maple forests in autumn symbolize human fragility, in a story of fleeting encounters and solitude.
The French edition dates from 1982. The original work, «雪国», was published in 1948; Kawabata won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1968.
A reference work of twentieth-century Japanese literature, for readers who appreciate novels of atmosphere, lyricism and emotional restraint.
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.
