| NOTA |
()(trans. by Cecilia Segawa Seigle)(Titulo original : Ę [Ie], Written at the peak of the naturalist movement in Japan, TosonLs epic,LThe Family,L is considered by many critics to be a masterpiece of naturalist writing. Long, often slow-moving and seemingly disjointed, the novel describes the disintegration of two families over a twelve-year period. LThe FamilyLis largely a biographical account of TosonLs own life, and many members of his large family appear as characters. Toson himself, as the main character, Sankichi, moves through Japan in the early 1900s, from the rural mountains of Nagano to the crowded, growing city of Tokyo, following the members of the two families through their glimpses of happiness and their long periods of sorrow and misfortune.) |
