chose to read Kobayashi Taizo's sci-fi short story ** episode "The Man Who Watched the Sea", and at first went for Kobayashi Taizo's well-known name. A giant of Japanese fantasy literature, a two-time Nebula Award winner, his short masterpiece "Toy Repairer" written in three days won the Japanese Horror ** Award in one fell swoop.
After reading this book "The Man Who Watched the Sea", I found that this book is indeed a collection of works worth pondering and recalling, which includes a total of 7 stories by Kobayashi Taizo, namely: "The Convex Mirror in the Hourglass", "The Law of the *", "Heaven and Earth", "Cache", "The Vortex Adventure of Mother and Child", "The Man Who Watched the Sea" and "The Door".
From a literary point of view, "The Man Who Watched the Sea" is a very good science fiction **. Kobayashi Taizo's writing is beautiful, the storyline is compact, and the characters are distinct, making it unforgettable to read.
The themes and imagery in *are also very unique, giving people a sense of the author's unique imagination.
At the same time, the dialogue and description in ** are also very vivid, making people feel the emotions and inner world of the characters.
The Man Who Sees the Sea" short story of the same name** describes the love at first sight between a teenager living in the mountains and a girl living by the sea, but in front of them there is a ruthless physical law barrier: because in this world, the closer to the sea, the slower the passage of time;The farther you are from the sea, the faster time passes. The love between the mountain village and the sea village is destined to be inpermanent.
The Law of the Ruler tells the story of the future world, the human world, which is two large countries with spaceships as entities, relying on the energy of black holes to fly and wander in the universe. In order to compete for the fuel of the black hole, the first person has used an iron fist, and the two countries have been in dispute for many years, and you are living and dying. During a fruitless negotiation, the envoy's daughter was miraculously rescued after a dangerous kidnapping. This sad and heartwarming experience completely changed the fate of the entire ** world......
The story of "Hell and Earth" takes place in a world dominated by centrifugal force, with solid earth above and void under feet.
I have to say that Kobayashi Taizo is indeed unique in science fiction, and his brain is really big.
This sci-fi ** collection of "The Man Who Watched the Sea" translated by Ding Ding Worm published by Yilin Publishing House, the first edition in October 2023, is crusty packaging, and has high literary value and social significance.
Kobayashi Taizo successfully presents the exploration of the unknown world and the pursuit of the future by human beings. In the process of reading this **, I also drew a lot of useful inspiration and thoughts from it.
If you like sci-fi**, then Taizo Kobayashi's "The Man Who Watched the Sea" is definitely worth cherishing.
