A full-length novel by Ishikawa Jun. It was serialized in Shincho magazine from 1963, and published by Shinchosha in 1964. There is a character named Sata who is like the energy of life itself, living from a place that is directly connected to the roots of the earth, while being aware of death and despair. He appears from time to time in this magnificent romance, but the purpose here is not to pursue the drama that he embodies. Sata is more of a fictional image than a fictional character, and the drama of several fictional characters unfolds around this fictional image, influenced by his existence. The characters, including Akune Akisaku, Ushio Hirokata, Teruko, and Miho, literally show the way of life of "wild spirits" as they burn the energy of life to the fullest under their own destiny. It is an intriguing novel full of energy. [Yoshio Izawa] [References] |Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
石川淳(じゅん)の長編小説。1963年(昭和38)より『新潮』に連載、翌1964年新潮社より刊行。死と絶望を踏まえつつ、大地の根に直結するところから生きる、生のエネルギーそのもののような佐太という人物がいる。彼はこの壮大なロマンにあって随時出没するが、彼の体現する劇の追究がここでは目的ではない。佐太は小説的人物というよりむしろ虚像であり、この虚像の周辺に、この存在に感応されつつ幾人かの小説的人物群の劇が展開する。阿久根(あくね)秋作、潮弘方(うしおひろかた)、照子、三穂らの人物群は、おのが運命のもと、生のエネルギーを精いっぱいに燃焼しつつ、文字どおり「荒魂」の生きざまをみせてくれる。興味津々たるエネルギー小説である。 [井沢義雄] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
