A Mountain to the North, A Lake to The South, Paths to the West, A River to the East

The grandson of Prince Genji wanders a timeless Kyoto monastery, searching for a garden that has long captivated him. The monastery, nearly untouched by human presence, becomes a space of quiet mystery. In what may be L?szl? Krasznahorkai's most serene and poetic novel, the search for the unreachable reveals unexpected riches. Along the way, we explore the monastery's construction and the natural, geological, and biological forces around it - a meditation on nature, life, and being.
