Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Third Printing. 344 Pages Indexed. Previous owner's name on the inside of the front cover. Light wear to cover corners and edges. Interior text pages are flawless. Illustrated with a center section of 21 pages of black and white photographs. 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. The author, 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 has said that a writer of Mishima's caliber comes along only once every two or three hundred years. Contents in Five Parts: The Last day, early Life 19251939, The Making of Yukio Mishima 1940-1949, The Four Rivers 1950-1970, and Post-Mortem. Seller Inventory # 16235
