The Lake (Italian translation)

An other book from Kawabata Yusinari written in the post war, is the story of a man with ugly feet ...and his complex, frustrations and pulsions, his tormented personality and his desire to kill. Hi follows women, spys them, trying to get closer to them, to listen to their voice ....

No simpathy for the protagonist from the author nor from me, the descriptions are beautyfull but the caracter is unnerving and digusting. The book is very interesting and reading it is catching and fascinating. The narration is fluid and I did't stop reading to the end, fearing for the life of some girl ..... but no blood fortunately.

Fantastic description of a Summer night and the festival of glow-worms, really takes you in his world and keep you hooked.

I found a book: Samurai! of Saburo Sakai, very interesting, I'm not a fanatic of samurai or martial arts I like to point out, this book is very interesting, is a hard, sad but true story of a man from childhhod to older age, trough the very shocking and painfull experience of world war II. He was  one of the best airplane pilots of Japan and one of the very few that survive this terrible experience, to suffer even more in the post war era of American domination of his country. Is very painfull to read the story but even more the description of his sufference after the war.

I like to say that I read always Italian translation and not Japanese text.

I'm reading "Manji" of Tanizaki Yunichirò, is a fascinating deascription of a love between two women, a husband and a fiancè ....
