Med regnbågen som sällskap av Yasunari Kawabata i svensk översättning från japanska av Lars Vargö
Handlingen utspelar sig strax efter Andra Världskriget kriget och tar upp känsliga ämnen som otrohet, utomäktenskapliga barn och abort – och inte minst hur människorna lever i den tidens kulturella brytningstid i Japan.
En arkitekt och hans två äldsta döttrar bor i Tokyo, men handlingen förläggs i huvudsak i den gamla kejserliga huvudstaden Kyoto, en stad som hade en särskild attraktionskraft på författaren. 1968 tilldelats Kawabata nobelpriset i litteratur, ”för hans berättarkonst, som med fin känsla uttrycker japanskt väsen i dess egenart”. Romanen förmedlar värdefulla insikter för den intresserade.

Go is a game of strategy in which two players attempt to surround each other's black or white stones. Simple in its fundamentals, infinitely complex in its execution, it is an essential expression of the Japanese sensibility. And in his fictional chronicle of a match played between a revered and invincible Master and a younger, more progressive challenger, Yasunari Kawabata captured the moment in which the immutable traditions of imperial Japan met the onslaught of the twentieth century.The competition between the Master of Go and his opponent, Otaké, is waged over several months and layered in ceremony. But beneath the game's decorum lie tensions that consume not only the players themselves but their families and friends - tensions that turn this particular contest into a duel that can only end in one man's death. Luminous in its detail, both suspenseful and serene, The Master of Go is an elegy for an entire society, written with the poetic economy and psychological acumen that brought Kawabata the Nobel Prize for Literature.

This Japanese literature collection contains four translated stories from two of Japan''s most beloved and acclaimed fiction writers.The Izu Dancer, Yasunari Kawabata''s first work to bring him recognition as a writer, is a novella about six Izu Peninsula travelers. As the six travelers journey together, intimacy develops and friendship overcomes class differences. Capturing the shy eroticism of adolescence, The Izu Dancer is a charming picture of the times.Yasushi Inoue''s The Counterfeiter, although set in modern times, poses universal questions that transcend culture an era. Abasute and The Full Moon both explore themes of separation, loneliness, and isolation. Through the gloomy tales, Inoue''s compassion shines, revealing yet another aspect of an author known for his vivid precision and economy of words. Inoue''s stories are at least partially autobiographical, and Inoue''s attitudes toward human destiny and fatalism are strongly influenced by his separation from his parents at an early age—yet all of his stories reveal his great compassion for his fellow human being.
