The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea
A beautiful hardback edition of the great Japanese classic. 'Mishima's greatest novel, and one of the greatest of the past century' The Times 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 disillusionment as an act of betrayal on his part and the retribution is deliberate and horrifying. A tale of youth and warped masculinity, rediscover the suspenseful and deeply ominous classic with this special edition. 'A page-turning novel...a timeless classic' Independent Vintage Quarterbound ClassicsBound to be beautiful
