In Japanese, 'Sarinagara' means 'and yet'. This word is the last word of one of the most famous poems of Japanese literature. When he writes it, Kobayashi Issa has just lost his only child: yes, all is emptiness. But Issa mysteriously adds this last word to his poem, leaving its meaning in suspense. This enigma is the theme of a narrative that brings together the stories of three Japanese artists across the centuries: Issa, the last great Haiku master of the 18th century, Natsume Soseki, inventor of the Japanese modern novel at the end of the 19th century, and Yamahata Yosuke, who was the first photographer to take pictures of the victims and ruins of Nagasaki in August 1945. These three 'dreamed lives' make the substance of a narrative that takes the reader from Paris to Kyoto and from Tokyo to Kobe, and asks the question of how anyone can hope to survive the most heartbreaking experience. 'Surviving is both the test and the enigma'. Following the death of his young daughter, the narrator moves to Japan with the project of writing an essay on Japanese literature. There, on the other side of the earth, he experiences a series of incidents that connect him to a recurrent childhood dream and allow him to explore the depth of his own grief through the stories of others. "Sarinagara" is a poignant meditation on the nature of grief, art, and memory.

这本书是在今年上海书展买的。 去上海书展是为了去看艾伦李陈丹青刘慈欣。。。等等大咖的。家里书满为患,一直告诫自己少买少买。有KINDLE有图书馆。一直也还好,除了几本签名书,也就看看,后来到久久爱书人的展台。他们在促销,一本只五块钱,有的只十块钱,而圆点...
评分菲利浦·福雷不厌其烦地引证同一时代各国不同的历史步伐,以期说明正进行在日本国土之上的个人成长史,之于小林一茶、夏目漱石、山端庸介,缓慢的个人成长史。在与阿贵的交流里,我们得到的共识是“节制”。的确,女儿的短暂生命如果起初带给他永恒的疼痛,那么随着时间渐进,...
评分干净简单风格的书一向是我的偏爱。 深夜里孤身走在街道上不归家的孩子,穿过时间,记忆,回到你的身边,你却再也不能把他认出,那是你,或是你的孩子。 离开,却已成定局。未失去和失而复得怎么样也是不同的。 从他人的大悲里化解自己的相对而言的小悲。那些可怜的人们在一...
