Description
Yasunari Kawabata's La casa de las bellas durmientes is a masterclass in formal perfection. The novel begins with an unexpected visit to a mysterious house, ruled by a woman who appears ordinary yet reveals her darker nature. Here, the protagonist spends several nights surrounded by young women who have been narcotized and left asleep. As he admires the beauty of the sleeping figures, the protagonist reflects on his relationships with women in his life: his wife, mother, lover, and daughters. Eroticism, masculinity, age, and violence intertwine in this concise yet powerful novel that blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern themes in a dreamlike setting. This novella is both magnificent and deeply unsettling, offering a thought-provoking exploration of sexuality and mortality.
