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.
A tale of youth and warped masculinity, this is the suspenseful, lyrical and page-turning Japanese classic.
A band of thirteen-year-old boys reject the stupidity of the adult world. They decide it is illusory, hypocritical and sentimental, and train themselves in a brutal callousness they call ‘objectivity’. When the mother of one of them begins an affair with a ship’s officer, he and his friends idealise the man at first, but it is not long before they conclude that he is, in fact, soft and romantic. They regard this disillusionment as an act of betrayal on his part – and the retribution is deliberate and horrifying.
‘Mishima’s greatest novel, and one of the greatest of the past century’ The Times
