A tale of desire, regret, and sensual nostalgia, every gesture has a meaning, and even the most fleeting touch or casual utterance has the power to illuminate entire lives--sometimes in the same moment that it destroys them. Translated from the Japanese by Edward G. Seidensticker.\u003cbr\u003e\"A novel of exquisite artistry...rich suggestibility...and a story that is human, vivid and moving.\"--New York Herald Tribune\u003cbr\u003eKawabata is a poet of the gentlest shades, of the evanescent, the imperceptible. This is a tragedy in soft focus, but its passions are fierce.\"--Commonweal\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Thousand Cranes | Yasunari Kawabata | Paperback | 9780679762652 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1642940","offer_id":48753930076312,"sku":"1642940","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/811BuJplDuL.jpg?v=1774069112","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/thousand-cranes-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
