Tanizaki Junichiro (1886-1965) is one of the most prominent Japanese writers of the 1956th century, who received worldwide recognition. Among his numerous works, two novels are most famous - "The Key" and "The Diary of a Mad Old Man". The publication of The Key in XNUMX provoked a violent public reaction, leading to a debate in the Japanese parliament on the banning of the novel as immoral and pornographic. The same scandal was caused by the appearance just three years before the death of the author of The Diary of a Mad Old Man. Both of these works amaze with their vitality, frank eroticism and fearlessness in descriptions of the most subtle, most intimate human relationships. The subtlest stylist, an unsurpassed master of literary allusions, a bold experimenter who was never afraid, and often tried to shock a respected reader, turned banal stories into a parable about a person’s indestructible desire for the fullness of life and the impossibility of reconciling with old age and death.
