Sea of Fertility Tetralogy by Yukio Mishima
Requirements: ePub Reader, Mobi Reader, 3.2 MB
Overview: Yukio Mishima was born into a samurai family and imbued with the code of complete control over mind and body, and loyalty to the Emperor – the same code that produced the austerity and self-sacrifice of Zen. He wrote countless short stories and thirty-three plays, in some of which he acted. Several films have been made from his novels, including The Sound of Waves; Enjo, which was based on The Temple of the Golden Pavilion; and The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea. Among his other works are the novels Confessions of a Mask and Thirst for Love and the short-story collections Death in Midsummer and Acts of Worship.
The Sea of Fertility tetralogy, however, is his masterpiece. After Mishima conceived the idea of The Sea of Fertility in 1964, he frequently said he would die when it was completed. On November 25th, 1970, the day he completed The Decay of the Angel, the last novel of the cycle, Mishima committed seppuku (ritual suicide) at the age of 45.
Genre: Literary Fiction
Spring Snow: The first book of Mishima's landmark "The Sea of Fertility" sequence, this novel is set in Tokyo in 1912, when the hermetic world of the ancient aristocracy is being breached for the first time by outsiders.
Runaway Horses: The second book in Mishima's landmark "The Sea of Fertility" sequence, this is the chronicle of a conspiracy, a novel about the roots and nature of Japanese fanaticism in the years that led to war.
The Temple of Dawn: The story of a man called Honda's obsessive pursuit of a beautiful young Thai princess, and an equally passionate search for enlightenment that takes him to India. It dramatizes the Japanese experience from the eve of World War II through the postwar era.
The Decay of the Angel: The final volume in the "Sea of Fertility" series. The dominant themes of the story cycle are brought together as Honda discovers and adopts a 16-year-old orphan, Toru, as his heir. Is Toru destined to die young, as did each of the tragic protagonists of the three previous novels?
