Synopsis "Historias de la Palma de la Mano (in Spanish)"

«Muchos escritores, en su juventud, escriben poesía: yo, en lugar de poesía, escribí los relatos que caben en la palma de una mano. Entre ellos hay piezas irracionalmente construidas, pero hay varios buenos que fluyeron naturalmente de mi pluma, con espontaneidad… El espíritu poético de mi juventud vive en ellos.» El Premio Nobel de Literatura, Yasunari Kawabata, escribió, entre 1924 y 1972, ciento cuarenta y seis brevísimos relatos a los que denominó «relatos que caben en la palma de una mano», y con esa descripción creaba una género personal. La presente edición es una selección de setenta de estos relatos a través de los cuales el autor vuelve a sumergirnos en una atmósfera en la que conviven la soledad, el amor y la muerte. Historias de la palma de la mano contiene toda la esencia de la obra de uno de los más grandes talentos literarios del siglo XX.

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
