Decay of the Angel: The Sea of Fertility, 4 | Yukio Mishima

2 posts | 7 read | 4 to read

Yukio Mishima s "The Decay of the Angel" is the final novel in his masterful tetralogy, "The Sea of Fertility." It is the last installment of Shigekuni Honda s pursuit of the successive reincarnations of his childhood friend Kiyoaki Matsugae. It is the late 1960s and Honda, now an aged and wealthy man, once more encounters a person he believes to be a reincarnation of his friend, Kiyoaki this time restored to life as a teenage orphan, T ru. Adopting the boy as his heir, Honda quickly finds that T ru is a force to be reckoned with. The final novel of this celebrated tetralogy weaves together the dominant themes of the previous three novels in the series: the decay of Japan s courtly tradition; the essence and value of Buddhist philosophy and aesthetics; and, underlying all, Mishima s apocalyptic vision of the modern era."

The Decay of the Angel: The Sea of Fertility, 4 | Yukio Mishima

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

Decay of the Angel: The Sea of Fertility, 4 | Yukio Mishima

so-so

The 4th book in the series is really a book about decay, mostly that of the main character Honda. He started as such a kind boy, became a respected man and judge, grows older and finally falls into disgrace. His behaviour, his health and all that he believed in and lived for: in the end nothing is wat it seemed. #1001books Picture: Lowlands Festival
