197028506New York:: Knopf 1970. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Very Good copy in a Very Good unclipped dust jacket with two closed edge tears and chipping to the spine. Nobel Prize winner Yasunari Kawabata's The Sound of the Mountain is a beautiful rendering of the predicament of old age and the gradual reluctant narrowing of a human life along with the sudden upsurges of passion that illuminate its closing. By day Ogata Shingo an elderly Tokyo businessman is troubled by small failures of memory. At night he associates the distant rumble he hears from the nearby mountain with the sounds of death. In between are the complex relationships that were once the foundations of Shingo's life: his trying wife; his philandering son; and his beautiful daughter-in-law who inspires in him both pity and the stirrings of desire. Out of this translucent web of attachments Kawabata has crafted a novel that is a powerful serenely observed meditation on the relentless march of time. Knopf, unknown
