«En La constelación de los cuervos y otros cuentos mágicos», Kenji –una de las figuras literarias más leídas y admiradas de Japón y que más influencia ha tenido en el género de la fantasía japonesa y, especialmente, en el manga y el anime– ahonda en los temas que caracterizan su obra: el respeto y el amor por la naturaleza, la espiritualidad, el folclore. Bajo su aparente sencillez, estos cuentos plagados de escenas entrañables y no exentas de ironía ocultan múltiples significados y profundas reflexiones filosóficas que no empañan la prosa de Kenji, rebosante de sensibilidad y lirismo. Como él mismo dice en el prólogo de este volumen: «Estos cuentos los he recibido del arcoíris y de la luz de la luna en las arboledas, los campos, las vías de ferrocarril y otros muchos lugares».

Author
Kenji Miyazawa
Author · 17 books
His name is written as 宮沢賢治 in Japanese, and translated as 宮澤賢治 in Traditional Chinese. Kenji Miyazawa (1896-1933) was born in Iwate, one of the northernmost prefectures in Japan. In high school, he studied Zen Buddhism and developed a lifelong devotion to the Lotus Sutra, a major influence on his writing. After graduating from an agricultural college, he moved to Tokyo to begin his writing career but had to return home to care for a sick sister. He remained in his home in Iwate for the rest of his life. One of his best-known works is the novel Night on the Galactic Railroad, which was adapted into anime in the late twentieth century, as were many of his short stories. Much of his poetry is still popular in Japan today.
