具体描述

Novelist, playwright, film actor, martial artist, and political commentator, Yukio Mishima (1925-1970) was arguably the most famous person in Japan at the time of his death. Henry Scott Stokes, one of Mishima's closest friends, was the only non-Japanese allowed to attend the trial of the men involved in Mishima's spectacular suicide. In this insightful and empathetic look at the writer, Stokes guides the reader through the milestones of Mishima's meteoric and eclectic career and delves into the artist's major works and themes. This biography skillfully and compassionately illuminates the achievements and disquieting ideas of a brilliant and deeply troubled man, an artist of whom Nobel Laureate Yasunari Kawabata had said, 'A writer of Mishima's caliber comes along only once every two or three hundred years.'

读后感

公元1970年，三岛由纪夫时年45岁。这一年，他终于完成了四部曲《丰饶之海》的最终卷《天人五衰》；也就在这一年，他带领包括森田必胜在内的其他四名盾会成员，在东京新宿区市谷本村町陆上自卫队东部方面总监部胁持了将军益田监利为人质，并最终按照事先制定的计划，与森田一起...  

看了《美与暴烈----三岛由纪夫的生与死》，真是没话说。立场是难得的客观，文字又美，也真是没辜负了三岛和喜欢三岛的我们。面对三岛，除非是极大的理解与尊重，否则委实难以客观。 封面上是一大束三岛君的目光，就那么耿直的逼视着你，可是这种逼视下又有很天真的东西。...  

在《三岛由纪夫追记》一文中，涩泽龙彦写道，“三岛氏一生纠结于蟹”。这使我脑海中涌出一幅奇特的景象，西装笔挺的三岛由纪夫面对餐桌上八块腹肌的赤红的蟹，露出嫌恶的表情。穿斜纹西装的作家和覆红甲的蟹，这是神与神的对峙（日语中蟹与神谐音），也是血与铁的互斥，以健美...

我一生不安的总帐，犹如一纸菜单，在我还没能读懂的时候，就赋予我了。——三岛由纪夫 三岛由纪夫，生于1925年1月14日。摩羯座。但他全然颠覆了我对摩羯座踏实、沉稳的印象。我一直觉得他更象处女座，矛盾、自恋、偏执和某种天生的看透世事的虚无。 他在上个世纪70年代自编自导...

美与暴烈

The explanation for Mishima's death lies in his entire life.

对比着读了英文版、日文版和中文版，发现日文版的删节比中文版还多。这本好像过阵儿还会出新的中译本，不知道用的还是不是以前的译本。神奇
