Yasunari Kawabata, Yukio Mishima, and Junichiro Tanizaki are titans of world literature, and students of Japanese aspire to read their works in the original language. This book provides that opportunity, featuring one characteristic story from each author, along with a built-in dictionary for linguistic support. It continues from the previous bestselling text, Breaking into Japanese Literature. Readers will experience the poignant romance in Kawabata's Snow Country, the ecstatic ritual suicide in Mishima's Patriotism, and the hedonistic exploits of Tanizaki's playboy in The Secret. Each two-page spread presents the original Japanese text in large type on the left, with the English translation on the right and a dictionary at the bottom, ensuring students have everything they need to comprehend the stories. Additionally, the book includes biographies of the three novelists, mini-prefaces to set the context for each story, and evocative illustrations. This resource is ideal for upper-intermediate and advanced students eager to delve into modern Japanese fiction.
