Yukio Mishima
Yukio Mishima (pseudonyme de Kimitake Hiraoka) est né en 1925 à Tôkyô. Son œuvre littéraire est aussi diverse qu'abondante : essais, théâtre, romans, nouvelles, récits de voyage. Il a écrit aussi bien des romans populaires qui paraissent dans la presse à grand tirage que des œuvres littéraires raffinées, et a joué et mis en scène un film qui préfigure sa propre mort.Il a obtenu les trois grands prix littéraires du Japon. En novembre 1970, il s'est donné la mort de façon spectaculaire, au cours d'un seppuku, au terme d'une tentative politique désespérée qui a frappé l'imagination du monde entier.Mishima fut un grand admirateur de la tradition japonaise classique et des vertus des Samouraïs. Dans ses œuvres, il a souvent dénoncé les excès du modernisme, et donné une description pessimiste de l'humanité.
Mishima’s literary powers are on full display in his penultimate novel, a meditation on reincarnation and Buddhist philosophy.
Honda, a brilliant lawyer and man of reason, is called to Bangkok on legal business. He is granted an audience with a young Thai princess known as 'Moonlight', an encounter that radically alters the course of his life. Convinced she is a reincarnated spirit, he undertakes a long, arduous pilgrimage to the holy places of India. There he encounters her again. But the princess has become one more embodiment of all that Honda cannot possess.
