After the early death of her philandering husband, Etsuko moves into her father-in-law's house, where she numbly submits to the old man's advances. But soon she finds herself in love with the young servant Saburo. Tormented by his indifference, yet invigorated by her desire, she makes her move, with catastrophic consequences.

The gripping story of an affair gone horribly wrong, from one of Japan's greatest twentieth-century writers Koji, a young student, has fallen hopelessly in love with the beautiful, enigmatic Yuko. But she is married to the literary critic and serial philanderer Ippei. Tormented by desire and anger, Koji is driven to an act of violence that will bind this strange, terrible love triangle together for the rest of their lives. A starkly compelling story of lust, guilt and punishment, The Frolic of the Beasts explores the masks we wear in life, and what happens when they slip.

Beautiful Star is a 1962 tale of family, love, nuclear war and UFOs, and was considered by Mishima to be one of his very best books. Translated into English for the first time, this atmospheric black comedy tells the story of the Osugi family, who come to the sudden realization that each of them hails from a different planet: Father from Mars, mother from Jupiter, son from Mercury and daughter from Venus. This extra-terrestrial knowledge brings them closer together, and convinces them that they have a mission: to find others of their kind, and save humanity from the imminent threat of the atomic bomb...
Słońce i stal - pierwszy polski przekład klasycznego, autobiograficznego i kontrowersyjnego eseju Yukio Mishimy, w którym koncentruje się na upodobaniu do sztuk walki i odkrywaniu fizycznych możliwości ciała. Książka ta (pisana w latach 1965-1968) uchodzi za punkt zwrotny w karierze wybitnego japońskiego pisarza oraz przez niektórych również uważana jest za zapowiedź jego samobójczej śmierci. Wybitny znawca twórczości Mishimy i jego przyjaciel John Nathan (Mishima. Życie PIW, 2022) tak przedstawia znaczenie tego eseju: W Słońcu i stali Mishima wyjaśniał swoje przeszłe i przyszłe działania bardziej przekonująco niż gdziekolwiek indziej i w kontekście, który nie miał nic wspólnego z konstytucją, cesarzem czy jakąkolwiek kwestią społeczną. Kontekst tworz...
A band of savage thirteen-year-old boys reject the adult world as illusory, hypocritical, and sentimental, and train themselves in a brutal callousness they call 'objectivity'. When the mother of one of them begins an affair with a ship's officer, he and his friends idealise the man at first; but it is not long before they conclude that he is in fact soft and romantic. They regard this disallusionment as an act of betrayal on his part - and the retribution is deliberate and horrifying.
When Hanio Yamada realises the future holds little of worth to him, he puts his life for sale in a Tokyo newspaper, thus unleashing a series of unimaginable exploits. A world of murderous mobsters, hidden cameras, a vampire woman, poisoned carrots, code-breaking, a hopeless junkie heiress and makeshift explosives reveals itself to the unwitting hero. Is there nothing he can do to stop it? Resolving to follow the orders of his would-be purchasers, he comes to understand what life is worth, and whether we can indeed name our price.

Wyznanie maski jest opowieścią o dojrzewaniu Kōchana, chłopca żyjącego w Japonii w czasach wojny W swoim wyznaniu, czy właściwie „spowiedzi”, opisuje zmagania ze swoją cielesnością – fizycznie zawsze ustępował rówieśnikom – oraz orientacją seksualną. Czując się inny od pozostałych szuka swojego miejsca na świecie, akceptacji i sposobu na życie w niesprzyjających warunkach. Przejmująca opowieść o zmaganiach z samym sobą i poszukiwaniu źródeł swojej tożsamości przeplatana jest porywającymi porywającymi opisami przyrody. Wydana w 1949 powieść przyniosła młodemu Yukio Mishimie sławę na całym świecie. Czytelnicy doszukują się w opowieści Kōchana wątków autobiograficznych, z kolei badacze uznają tę powieść za jedną z najważniejszych w...
Written when Mishima was only twentysix, Forbidden Colors is a depiction of a male homosexual relationship, in which a rich older man buys the love of a young man who is stunningly handsome but who lacks the ability to love. As in Mann's Death in Venice, the older man's longing for the beauty of youth is associated with aestheticism and death.
Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith Filled with rich description and luxurious beauty, these ten tales of loss and longing from one of Japan's greatest writers show the pull between duty and desire, ecstasy and death: a mother lost in mourning, a moonlit journey to fulfil a wish, a night of infidelity, a young lieutenant who ends his life.
