The Lake, by Yasunari Kawabata
I was felt in love with Japanese literature lately, and I
couldn’t help myself to pick it up from the shelf. My heart was full of
curiosity to know the story it carried. Its cover was beautiful and mysterious
(for me, because I love the beauty of the night) which only shown its title,
author’s and translator’s names (Yasunari Kawabata and Reiko Tsukimura) , and
the picture of trees taken in the night. Very beautiful.
There was no synopsis written on the back of the book which commonly
found at any other book. But we could find the impressions of people who have
read it instead.
This book has 160 pages which told about Gimpei Momoi’s
thoughts and life experiences, which would draw our imagination as we read it.
Honestly, at the first time I read it, I felt a little bit confused (yes, I
found it confusing), because of its plot (how did I begin to imagine), or
maybe, because of the sophisticated words it carried. But really, as we read it
further, we would find it interesting to read. We could find the art of
imagine. I didn’t find any noticeable climax within this story (because it was
mixed), but I found it interesting to follow Gimpei’s imagination in this
story. So, happy Reading!
