Riassunto:

Tokyo, 1912. Il mondo chiuso dell'antica aristocrazia viene violato per la prima volta da estranei: ricche famiglie provinciali, una nuova e potente élite politica e sociale. Kiyoaki è cresciuto tra l'elegante famiglia Ayakura, membri dell'aristocrazia in declino, ma non è uno di loro. Raggiunta la maggiore età, viene coinvolto nelle tensioni tra vecchio e nuovo e nei suoi sentimenti per la squisita e vivace Satoko, osservata dall'esterno dal suo devoto amico Honda. Quando Satoko si fidanza con un principe reale, Kiyoaki si rende conto della portata della sua passione.

Informazioni sull?autore: Yukio Mishima was born into a samurai family and imbued with the code of complete control over mind and body, and loyalty to the Emperor - the same code that produced the austerity and self-sacrifice of Zen. He wrote countless stories and thirty-three plays, in some of which he performed. Several films have been made from his novels, including The Sound of Waves, Enjo which was based on The Temple of the Golden Pavilion and The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea. Among his other works are the novels Confessions of a Mask and Thirst for Love and the short story collections Death in Midsummer and Acts of Worship. The Sea of Fertility tetralogy, however, is his masterpiece. After Mishima conceived the idea of The Sea of Fertility in 1964, he frequently said he would die when it was completed. On 25 November 1970, the day he completed The Decay of the Angel, the last novel of the cycle, Mishima committed seppuku (ritual suicide) at the age of forty-five.
