Beschreibung
Kiyoaki has been raised among the elegant Ayakura family - members of the waning aristocracy - but he is not one of them. Coming of age, he is caught up in the tensions between old and new, and his feelings for the exquisite, spirited Satoko. His devoted friend Honda watches from the sidelines. It is only when Satoko is engaged to a royal prince that Kiyoaki realises the magnitude of his passion.
'An austere love story, probably my favourite of his novels' David Mitchell, Independent on Sunday
'[Mishima's] best work, unnerving as it may be, still casts a spell; and I suspect it will retain its dark radiance' Guardian

In the first book of his The Sea of Fertility Tetralogy, Mishima chronicles the doomed love affair of Satoko and Kiyoaki, two young aristocrats in early 20th century Japan. In his unique style, Mishima explores the cultural tensions between Japan and the West, the interplay of love and death, Buddhist philosophy and more. Looking forward to reading Runaway Horses and the rest of the series soon.
