1968年,日本著名作家川端康成的《雪国》《千鹤》和《古都》“以其敏锐的感受,高超的叙事技巧,表现日本人的精神实质”而获得诺贝尔文学奖。为他带来这一崇高荣誉的三部代表作品之一的《古都》,是代表着川端康成后期更加成熟的创作手法和艺术风格的一部力作,在他一生的创作中,占有很高的地位。 In 1968, Kobayashi Kawabata, a famous Japanese writer, won the Nobel Prize in Literature for his “snow country”, “Chizuru” and “ancient capital” “for their keen perceptions, superb narrative skills and the expression of Japanese spiritual essence”. The “ancient capital”, one of the three representative works that brought him this lofty honor, is a masterpiece representing the more mature creative techniques and artistic styles of Kawabata later in his life, occupying a very high status.
