Description

New York, NY G.P. Putnam's Sons: Perigee Books, 1981. Paperback First Ed thus, so stated. First Ed thus, so stated. Very Good+ in Wraps: shows very light wear to the extremities, a little heavier along the lower edge of the front panel; mild rubbing and the faintest toning to the wrapper covers; the titles at the back strip appear to be very lightly sunned, blanching them a bit; binding shows the slightest reverse lean, while remaining perfectly secure; text clean. Structurally sound and tightly bound; remains quite presentable and with a clean text. NOT a Remainder. NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 206pp. First Windhover Edition. Translated by Howard Hibbett. Trade Paperback. This little novel, though economical in size and language, is a monument to the Japanese ideal of "less is more". Kawabata's prose is highly musical and amazingly crafted. His eloquent, often delightful truths seem to bring the reader's attention to the essence of life, nature, and human nature. Beauty in the purest sense of the word.
