Reseña del editor
From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of the Booker Prize–winning novel The Remains of the Day
In the face of the misery in his homeland, the artist Masuji Ono was unwilling to devote his art solely to the celebration of physical beauty. Instead, he put his work in the service of the imperialist movement that led Japan into World War II.
Now, as the mature Ono struggles through the aftermath of that war, his memories of his youth and of the "floating world"—the nocturnal world of pleasure, entertainment, and drink—offer him both escape and redemption, even as they punish him for betraying his early promise. Indicted by society for its defeat and reviled for his past aesthetics, he relives the passage through his personal history that makes him both a hero and a coward but, above all, a human being.
Nota de la solapa

Paperback. Zustand: UNSPECIFIED. 1st edition. 'Vintage International'. Design: Mare J. Cohen. Kazuo Ishiguro, born 8 November 1954 is a Japanese-born British novelist. The novel's title is based on the literal translation of Ukiyo-e, a word referring to the Japanese art of prints. Therefore, it can be read as 'a printmaker' or 'an artist living in a changing world', given both Ono's limited understanding and the dramatic changes his world, Japan in the first half of the twentieth century, has undergone in his lifetime. The novel was shortlisted for the 1986 Booker Prize and won the Whitbread Book of the Year Award for the same year. 206 pag. Size: 20cmx13cm. Artikel-Nr. 027522
