Tanizaki Junichiro (1886-1965) is one of the most prominent Japanese writers of the 20th century, who gained worldwide recognition. Among his numerous works, the most famous are two novels - "The Key" and "Diary of a Mad Old Man". The publication of "The Key" in 1956 caused a strong public reaction up to the debate in the Japanese parliament to ban the novel as immoral and pornographic. The same scandal was caused by the appearance of Diary of a Mad Old Man just three years before the author's death. Both of these works are striking in their vitality, frank eroticism and fearlessness in describing the most subtle, most intimate human relationships. The most subtle stylist, unsurpassed master of literary allusions, a daring experimenter, never afraid, and often sought to shock the venerable reader, transformed banal stories into a parable about the inexorable human desire for the fullness of life and the impossibility of reconciling with old age and death.
