The Woman In The Dunes

Among the greatest Japanese novels of the twentieth century, The Woman in the Dunes combines the essence of myth, suspense and the existential novel. First published in 1964, author Kobo Abe's book was turned into an international art-house sensation by Japanese filmmaker Hiroshi Teshigahara two years later in 1964. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes a brand new introduction by the author of Cloud Atlas, David Mitchell.
