It's a shame that the blog doesn't mention Mishima's most famous work, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion (a fictionalized account of the real case of a deranged monk burning down Kyoto's most famous temple), or (IMHO) his magnum opus, the Sea of Fertility tetralogy, which he finished immediately before his…
Pfffff you really asked the impossible question here. Best I can do is scan through the books on the shelves next to me: * Beyond good and evil: Nietzsche * The Temple of the Golden Pavilion: Yukio Mishima * Steppenwolf: Hermann Hese * Library of babel: Borges * The Brain: David Eagleman * The Magical Mountain: Thomas Mann * The Dark Tower: Stephen King(actually tons of King books -…
Mishima's late-life militarism and his death tend to overshadow his early work. Both "Confessions of a Mask" and "Temple of the Golden Pavilion" are masterpieces, and you can see the raw impulses that motivated him, before he sublimated them to a political agenda.
I second Mishima, who has not let me down. I enjoyed "Confessions of a Mask", and plan to read "Temple of the Golden Pavilion" next and the last 2 books of his tetralogy. By means of microscopic observation and astronomical projection the lotus flower can become the foundation for an entire theory of the universe and an agent…
…incredibly dense to the point of being baroque (there are pages of footnotes even in the Japanese originals), but there's nobody else quite like him: heavy focus on themes of sex, death and mysticism. "Temple of the Golden Pavilion" is his most famous work but the "Sea of Fertility" tetralogy is also good. What I wanted was to die among strangers, untroubled, beneath a cloudless sky. And yet my desire differed from the sentiments…
I think I was 12 or 13 when I stumbled upon The Temple of the Golden Pavilion. Till this day is easily in my top 10 favourite books. And oddly enough almost 20 years later the same copy is sitting right besides me on the shelf. I am very interested in getting a copy in another…
很可惜这篇博客没提三岛最著名的作品《金阁寺》（根据一个精神失常的僧人烧毁京都最著名寺庙的真实案件改编的小说），或者（依我拙见）他的代表作《丰饶之海》四部曲，那是他在…之前刚完稿的。

哎呀，你这问题可太难为人了。我能做到的就是扫一眼身旁书架上的书：* 《善恶的彼岸》：尼采 * 《金阁寺》：三岛由纪夫 * 《荒原狼》：赫尔曼·黑塞 * 《巴别塔图书馆》：博尔赫斯 * 《大脑的故事》：大卫·伊格曼 * 《魔山》：托马斯·曼 * 《黑暗塔》：斯蒂芬·金（其实金的书多得是 -…

三岛晚年的军国主义思想和他的死，往往掩盖了他早期的作品。《假面的告白》和《金阁寺》都是杰作，你能从中看出驱使着他的原始冲动，在那之后他才把这些冲动升华为某种政治诉求。

我也附议三岛，他从没让我失望过。我很喜欢《假面的告白》，接下来打算读《金阁寺》以及他四部曲的最后两部。借助显微镜式的观察和天文般的投射，一朵莲花可以成为一整套宇宙理论的基石，也能成为…的媒介

…晦涩得近乎巴洛克风格（就连日文原版都有整页整页的注脚），但确实没人能写得像他那样：重度聚焦于性、死亡和神秘主义主题。《金阁寺》是他最出名的作品，不过《丰饶之海》四部曲也很棒。“我所渴望的，是在异乡、心无挂碍地死于万里无云的晴空之下。然而我的愿望与世人情愫…

我记得我大概是 12 还是 13 岁时偶然读到了《金阁寺》。直到今天它都能轻松排进我最喜欢的书前十名。挺奇妙的是，差不多 20 年过去了，同一本书现在就摆在我身旁的书架上。我非常想再收一本别的…
