Description: At night, in the Kamakura Gorge, Mr. Shingo listened to the sound of the waves of the sea. It was not the sound of the sea, but the sound of the mountains. When he could no longer hear the echoes of the mountains, Mr. Shingo was worried and very afraid. He sensed that the sound of the mountains told him that the day of his death was coming. The author of the book, Mr. Kawabata Yasunari is the first Japanese writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.
