Über den Autor

Kobo Abe is the pseudonym of Kimifusa Abe, who was born in Tokyo, Japan on March 7 1924. He was brought up in Manchuria where he lived with his father, a doctor of the hosipital attached to the Imperial Medical Colledge of Manchuria. In elementary school, he was educated in the experimental way, in mehr anzeigen which a teacher trained children to debating and rapid reading. Abe went back to Tokyo and went to Sejo Koko High School, a famous private school. He was later admitted to the faculty of medicine of Tokyo University. In 1944, Abe heard that Japan would lose the war before long and he forged a medical certificate to get home to Manchuria. He earned his medical degree in 1948, but never practiced. After graduation he began his writing career and became a member of a literary group led by Kiyoteru Hamada. Often compared to Kafka , he treated the contemporary human predicament in a realistic yet symbolic style. In 1951 he got the Akutagawa Award by his first masterpiece, Kabe (The Walls). Among Abe's novels are Woman in the Dunes, published in 1962 and made into a film in 1964, and his best-known work, Secret Rendezvous. His plays include Friends, published in 1967. The first of his short stories to appear in English were collected in Beyond the Curve, 1944-66. Abe died in 1993. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

Rezensionen

Após perder o último autocarro depois de uma viagem a uma zona costeira, em busca de novos insetos das areias, um entomologista amador encontra uma aldeola e é convidado a pernoitar numa casa ao fundo das dunas. Prisioneiro de uma areia que em tudo se infiltra, tem apenas por companhia uma estranha mulher.
Kobo Abe nasceu em Tóquio a 7 de março de 1924. A sua primeira obra publicada, um volume de poesia, surgiu em 1947. Em 1951, viu o livro de contos Kabe [O Muro] ser galardoado com o Prémio Akutagawa e ganhou reconhecimento público. A Mulher da Areia, lançado em 1962 e adaptado ao cinema por Hiroshi Teshigahara dois anos mais tarde, é considerado a sua obra-prima. Frequentemente comparado com Franz Kafka, pela originalidade de uma escrita onde o surreal e o claustrofóbico surgem como vias para questionar o indivíduo na sociedade moderna, Kobo Abe foi um dos mais prestigiados autores japoneses do século xx. Faleceu a 22 de janeiro de 1993.… (mehr)

One could not do without repetition in life, like the beating of the heart, but it was also true that the beating of the heart was not all there was to life.

Niki Jumpei, an amateur entomologist, seeks a rare beetle in the desert. The day ends, and he is lost in the sand dunes. In desperation, he agrees to assistance from another man who finds the entomologist shelter for the night. He is taken to a sand cliff from which he is lowered by rope ladder to a small house, partially covered by sand and inhabited by a lone woman. In the morning, the rope is gone but the woman remains.

The story was terrifying and engrossing all at once. It had the essence of one person being alone, yet not being alone; disappearing and yet not disappearing. Thinking of a person placed in a captive situation, it made me question whether it would be better to remain aloof or to befriend a captor. Presenting just as many questions as answers, this book turned out to be an incredible mind trip. I kept on trying to figure out what it all meant, whether it was a metaphor for anything at all or just a bizarre tale meant for entertainment. It was a story, complete with perfectly situated pen-and-ink drawings, about the meaning of being held captive and containing sequences of events and scenery which made for surreal and fascinating reading.… (mehr)
