Life altering book from the greatest Japanese writer of the 20th Century. Beginning in the Pre-WWI years of the incredible Meji Restoration in Japan, Mishima traces the changing nature of the Japanese milieu through the micro-lens of an adolescent boy- Kiyoaki Matsugae, the son of a rising nouveau-riche family which who were once lower-tier samurais, and Satoko Ayakura, the daughter of an aristocratic family fallen on hard times.
Masterfully crafted, a world both enchanting and tragically beautiful.
Our poor Romeo.
A propelling story of a young man's love. Beautiful flowing prose, metaphor and description on point.
