Synopsis "The Sailor who Fell From Grace With the sea (in English)"

'Mishima's greatest novel, and one of the greatest of the past century' The Times

A band of savage thirteen-year-old boys reject the adult world as 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.

Yukio Mishima (nombre literario) nació como Kimitake Hiroaka en Tokio en 1925 y se suicidó en 1970 en protesta por el fin del Japón tradicional. Estuvo nominado para el premio Nobel, pero fue después de su muerte cuando alcanzó fama internacional. Mishima vivió, como tantos japoneses de su generación, el embate de dos modelos de cultura: la occidental y la propia y milenaria del Japón. Escritor plural y fecundo, Confesiones de una máscara, su primer éxito notable, le hizo famoso con tan sólo veinticuatro años.
