SYNOPSIS
‘In this masterpiece Kawabata, his brush dipped in silver, renders all the excruciating anguish and beauty of post-war Japan’ Edmund White
With the Second World War only a few years in the past, and Japan still reeling from its effects, two sisters - born to the same father but different mothers - struggle to make sense of the new world in which they are coming of age. Asako, the younger, has become obsessed with locating a third sibling, while also experiencing love for the first time. While Momoko, their father's first child - haunted by the loss of her kamikaze boyfriend and their final, disturbing days together - seeks comfort in a series of unhealthy romances. And both sisters find themselves unable to outrun the legacies of their late mothers. A thoughtful, probing novel about the enduring traumas of war, the unbreakable bonds of family and the inescapability of the past, The Rainbow is a searing, melancholy work from one of Japan's greatest writers.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Yasunari Kawabata
PRÉMIO NOBEL DA LITERATURA 1968
Yasunari Kawabata nasceu em Osaka, em 1899.
Os primeiros anos da sua vida foram trágicos, tendo ficado órfão aos dois anos de idade. Formou-se em Letras pela Universidade Imperial de Tóquio, em 1924, e, em 1925, publicou o seu primeiro livro, Izu no odoriko/ A Dançarina de Izu. Yukiguni/Terra de Neve (1947), Sembazuru/Mil Grous (1952), Yama no oto/O Som da Montanha (1954), Mizuumi/O Lago (1954), Nemureru bijo/A Casa das Belas Adormecidas (1960) e Koto/Kyoto (1962) são os seus romances mais conhecidos.
Foi presidente do Pen Club Japonês e ainda um eminente crítico literário, que descobriu e apoiou uma nova geração de escritores, incluindo Yukio Mishima. Em 1968 recebeu o Prémio Nobel de Literatura, vendo assim consagrada internacionalmente a sua obra. Kawabata suicidou-se em 1972, aos 72 anos.
