Synopsis "Lo Bello y lo Triste (in Spanish)"

Impulsado por la nostalgia, Oki Toshio, un escritor casado, decide viajar a Kyoto para oír las campanas del templo en el Año Nuevo. Pero además quiere ver a Otoko, antigua amante a la que habla humillado. Todavía hermosa, Otoko, ahora pintora, vive con su protegida Keiko, una joven amoral, sensual y apasionada de apenas veinte años. Y lo que comienza como un reencuentro sentimental entre el maduro Oki y la discreta Otoko se convertirá, por voluntad de Keiko, decidida a vengar a su mentora, en un cruel drama de amor y destrucción.

Entre la ternura y la obsesión, la serenidad y el arrebato, Lo bello y lo triste es una de las obras cumbre de Kawabata, capaz de convertir el mero ajuste de un ceñidor en algo infinitamente erótico y perverso.

Yasunari Kawabata (Osaka, Japan, 1899 – 1972) was one of the great writers of the 20th century and the first Japanese to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature (1968), an award given for the delicacy of his prose and his ability to capture the essence of the Japanese spirit

Marked from childhood by orphanhood and deep loneliness, Kawabata expressed in his works a melancholic sensitivity and a unique aesthetic that combines tradition and modernity. Educated in Japanese Literature at the Imperial University of Tokyo, he was the founder of the magazine Bungei Jidai (The Artistic Era), the voice of the Japanese neosensualist avant-garde

Among his most emblematic novels are "Snow Country" (Yukiguni), "Thousand Cranes" (Senbazuru), "The Sound of the Mountain" (Yama no Oto), as well as "The Master of Go", "The House of the Sleeping Beauties", "Kyoto" and "Beauty and Sadness". His subtle and poetic narrative explores themes such as ephemeral beauty, loneliness, and the passage of time

In addition to the Nobel, Kawabata received distinctions such as the Goethe-Medaille (Germany, 1959), the Order of Arts and Letters of France, and the Order of Culture of Japan. He was president of the Japanese PEN Club, promoting Japanese literature worldwide
