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

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。...  

日本一点都不缺唯美派的作家，谷崎润一郎、川端康成、三岛由纪夫。从我接触文学开始，我一直都对一些极端唯美派的作家没有一点好感，比如冰心比如泰戈尔（对泰戈尔的印象后来有了个三百六十度的大转弯，这是另一码事了）。之所以这样，是因为我不喜欢这些作家用无敌美好的一元...  

本书是世上最早几本三岛由纪夫传记之一（1974年英文初版，1999年修订）。现在看起来，作为早期的、非专业学者所写的二手研究，书中对三岛生平的探讨较无独特性，也不够深入，有一些内容已被推翻（例如说三岛和美智子皇后相亲过，现在一般认为这是三岛吹牛的），对作品文本的分...  

《美与暴烈》这本书，是我前些日子读的，本来刚读完的时候是想写点什么，但是因为实在难以消化一个如此凄厉，美和暴烈的故事，一时竟写不出。我对三岛由纪夫的作品并不熟悉，但对这个人倒是充满着好奇，所谓不吃鸡蛋，却想知道那只下蛋的母鸡，对于三岛这个人，想必很多人也和...
