New Kindle books and cine-poems based on them


This is a sort of Cine-poem based on a roman I've just published as Kindle e-Book.
It's a biographic and at the same time historical roman, depicting so-called "Abramtsevo circle". The center of the roman is the tragic life of M.A.Vrubel after Kiev period.
I don't know if I was right to have written it in Japanese, but I think such a delicate material can't be written in other languages than author's mother tongue.

And here is the another Cine-poem also based on my literary work, named "Re-Minder". Initially it was a short story for an omnibus film, but as the plan didn't realize, I developed the idea into the length of a feature film and at then make it into a novel. I don't know to what genre it belongs, most likely a kind of near future Sci-fi with artificial intelligence,virtual reality and on-line combat game played with global scale.
In fact it deals with a problem of cultural degradation in the technology-centered globalized society without spiritual values. In such a society a young old-fashioned artist, of course, can't live. Namely it deals with our reality.
The heroine Lisa is a science journalist with cool atmosphere, but she has something spiritual in her, the sense of the harmony ruling the Universe.
There are also comical group portraits of people living in near-future Japan, partly becauuse that the scenario for a feature film which was the bases of the novel, was written in 2003 when the economic recession  was not so seriously felt and we had no fear for radiation, as today.

This time I revised only a few details of it. The main plot of this story had always been mythological, so it's not the author's caprice to include Max Klinger's works whose name is mentioned by young graphic artist Ryu Tujimura.
The kindle version is in Japanese, as "Demon defeated" about M.Vrubel.
