Recognized throughout the world for his brilliance as a novelist and playwright, Yukio Mishima was also noted as a master of the short story in his native Japan, where the form is practiced as major art. Nien of his finest stories were selected by Mishima himself for translation in this book; they represent his extraordinary ability to depict, with deftness and penetration, a wide variety of human beings in moments of significance. Often his characters are sophisticated modern Japanese who turn out to be not so liberated from the past as they had thought. Translated into English from the Japanese by Donald Keene, Ivan Morris, Geoffrey Sargent, and Edward Seidensticker.

MISHIMA, YUKIO. Sun & Steel.
Grove Press, New York: 1976. 0394177657 / 9780394177656 First Printing of this edition. s Softcover. Good condition.
Yukio Mishima, the internationally famous Japanese novelist, committed hara-kiri on November 25, 1970, in protest against the World War II Japanese constitution which forbids war. His tragic death startled Japan and the world, and left many unanswered questions about Mishima's extraordinary act of supreme sacrifice. Here is Mishima's testament which gives us many answers to this puzzling man's philosophy and his art, and which strangely forecasts the traditional samurai ritual suicide by which he was later to take his life. Translated into English from the Japanese by John Bester.
