Overview
“La disciplina, tarde o temprano, vencerá a la inteligencia”, Yokoi Kenji
Yokoi Kenji retoma en este libro historias legendarias del Japón para, al final, hacer breves comentarios a manera de conclusiones sobre la vida de hoy. Historias de monjes y fábulas dan pie para reflexiones sobre el comportamiento humano. Al igual que en Salón 8, el autor tiene como telón de fondo sus vivencias en Japón y su condición de latinoamericano. Son 41 historias cortas donde el lector se dejará envolver por cuentos casi infantiles, mágicos, para encontrar ahí la respuesta a muchas inquietudes de la vida diaria.
Lejos de dar cátedra directamente por medio de conceptos, las historias mismas van dejando reflexiones sobre la importancia de la disciplina, el valor de la amistad, la lealtad, el equilibrio entre el trabajo y el ocio, la importancia de la familia, las relaciones de pareja, entre otros temas.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“Discipline, sooner or later, will defeat intelligence.” —Yokoi Kenji
In this book, Yokoi Kenji draws from legendary tales of Japan and offers brief reflections at the end of each one, connecting them to modern life. Stories of monks and fables become the starting point for thoughtful insights into human behavior. As in Salón 8, the author weaves in his personal experiences in Japan and his identity as a Latin American. These 41 short stories invite readers into magical, almost childlike narratives that hold answers to everyday questions.
Rather than teaching through abstract concepts, the stories themselves gently reveal reflections on the power of discipline, the value of friendship, loyalty, balance between work and leisure, the importance of family, romantic relationships, and more.
