Sobre El Autor

Poet and novelist Shimazaki Toson was raised on an old mountain road well-traveled in feudal Japan. As a young man, he lived in Tokyo, then retreated to the northern city of Sendai and lived in Paris during World War I. The poetry of Shimazaki's youth was inspired by the English romanticists. mostrar más Written in a new, freer style, it set off a movement that eventually liberated Japanese verse from the dominance of tanka andhaiku. As a novelist, Shimazaki is perhaps best known for The Family (1911), acclaimed as a masterpiece of naturalistic fiction. His complex writing is passionate in its attention to the human dimension of abstract ideological clashes during turbulent historical transitions. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

I generally do not like sad novels, but this is one of the most wonderful books I have ever read, even though its hero dies insane with despair over the betrayal of his life's work. It is an astonishingly real picture of life in a post station on the Northern Road through the Japanese mountains in the days just before and after the Meiji Restoration. The hero is the hereditary head of a posthouse village providing bearers for important travellers (the road is so steep all traffic is by foot) ; he supports the gallant fighters seeking to restore the
empire, but then finds that the Meiji government has
abandoned his ancient ideals in pursuit of modernization.

Of the Shimazaki works I have read, I like this least, chiefly because I find it too grim.

Well-known early novel about the "problem" of the Eta outcastes; the hero is an Eta whjose father has insisted he "pass" for normal Japanese. He has become a popular school teacher, but jealous colleagues "out" him as Eta. Ultimately he accepts his heritage. Besides realistic school intrigue this includes some beautiful descrption of Japanese landscape of the isolated Eta village to which he returns for his father's funeral.
