Synopsis "Sailor who Fell From Grace With the sea "

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.

Yukio Mishima (literary name) was born as Kimitake Hiroaka in Tokyo in 1925 and committed suicide in 1970 in protest against the end of traditional Japan. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize, but it was after his death that he achieved international fame. Mishima lived, like so many Japanese of his generation, the clash of two cultural models: the Western and the ancient and own of Japan. A prolific and diverse writer, Confessions of a Mask, his first notable success, made him famous at just twenty-four years old.
