Snow Country Av Yasunari Kawabata

<p><b>A tale of wasted love, and beauty, by Japan''s literary master</b><br><br>Shimamura is tired of the bustling city. He takes the train through the snow to the mountains of the west coast of Japan, to meet with a geisha he believes he loves. Beautiful and innocent, Komako is tightly bound by the rules of a rural geisha, and lives a life of servitude and seclusion that is alien to Shimamura. <i>Snow Country</i> is both delicate and subtle, reflecting in Kawabata''s exact, lyrical writing the unspoken love and understated passion of the young Japanese couple.</p>
