Kawabata
Japanese novelist. 1born in osaka on June 4th, 899,1committed suicide in the studio on April 6th, 972.
In his life, Kawabata Yasunari lost his father at the age of 2, his mother at the age of 3, his grandmother at the age of 7, and his grandfather at the age of 15. The orphan's experience made his childhood miserable and had a great influence on his later literary creation. 1920 joined the English Department of Tokyo University in September and transferred to the Chinese Department the following year. During his college years, he was enthusiastic about literature, actively participated in editing the fan magazine New Trend of Thought (the sixth issue), and published many short stories in the magazine. Among them, The Scene of Evocation Festival received rave reviews, which opened the door for him to enter the literary world. After graduating from college, he stepped into the literary world and became a professional writer. In the same year, in 10, he co-founded the fan magazine Literary Times with the first-class Yoko Hiroshi. 1927 After the closure of Literature Times in May, Yasunari Kawabata participated in the activities of Modern Life magazine, Thirteen Societies and Literature magazine successively. After entering the 1930s, Japanese militaristic forces carried out the war policy crazily. Kawabata Yasunari lived a semi-secluded life most of the time and continued to write works almost unrelated to the war.
Because of his continuous achievements in creation, Kawabata Yasunari won various honorary titles and bonus medals after the war. 1968 10, Sweden decided to award him Nobel Prize in Literature in recognition of his outstanding feelings and superb skills, which showed the essence of the Japanese. 1April 6, 972, Yasunari Kawabata committed suicide with gas in his workshop.
Yasunari Kawabata wrote more than 100 novels, novellas and short stories, as well as many essays, essays, speeches, comments, poems, letters and diaries. His creation is quite complicated in ideological tendency and has experienced a rather tortuous development process. His pre-war and wartime works can be roughly divided into two categories: one is to describe his orphan life, express his lonely feelings, describe his lovelorn process and express his painful feelings. The Master of Funeral, Diary of Sixteen and Letter to Parents are the representatives of this kind of works. Because he writes about his own experiences and experiences, he often describes them delicately, with sincere feelings and exciting artistic effects. However, because he only wrote his own experiences and experiences, he was full of deep and sad atmosphere from beginning to end, and his ideological height and social significance were limited to some extent. The other is the works that describe the tragic experiences of the lower class, especially the lower class women (such as dancers, geisha, female artists, waitresses, etc.). ), and show their pursuit of life, love and art. The Scene of Soul Sacrifice, Dancer of Izu, Hot Spring Hotel, Waltz of Flowers and Snow Country are the representatives of this kind of works. This kind of works truly reproduces the misfortune of these insulted and injured people and fully expresses their pain. The author gave them sympathy and pity. Generally speaking, this kind of works surpass the first kind of works in ideological value, especially the famous works such as Dancer of Izu and Snow Country. His post-war creations are particularly complicated. On the one hand, he continued to follow the road of Izu Dancer and Snow Country, and continued to write works expressing people's normal life and feelings, or reflecting some social problems, or expressing sympathy for ordinary people, or revealing the author's positive and healthy aesthetic tastes, such as dancers, celebrities, ancient capitals and so on. On the other hand, he also wrote some works with the theme of showing sensory stimulation, erotic enjoyment and abnormal sex. From Thousand Cranes and the Sound of Mountains to Sleeping Beauty and One Arm, his works and story lines are getting more and more bizarre, and he is getting farther and farther on the decadent road. His creation is also quite complicated in artistic expression, and has also experienced a rather tortuous development process. There are two different tendencies in his actual creation. Some works adopt the writing style of pure neo-sensualism, emphasizing subjective feelings and enthusiastically pursuing novel forms, while others do not adopt the writing style of pure neo-sensualism, and mainly adopt concise and clear painting techniques. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, attracted by new psychology and stream-of-consciousness novels, he wrote two pure imitation novels-Needle and Glass and Fog and Crystal Fantasy. However, the latter gave up halfway and never wrote such a work again. It can be seen that Kawabata Yasunari is not satisfied with pure imitation, refuses to follow others and is determined to find another way. The so-called new path is a way to organically combine the tradition of Japanese classical literature with the methods of western modernism. After long-term exploration, he has made great progress and great success on this road.
