He Turns Terrorist, Organising A Violent Plot Against The New Industrialists, Who He Believes Are Threatening The Integrity Of Japan And Usurping The Emperor's Rightful Power.

Editorial Review
"In Runaway Horses Mishima Writes Of A Desire To Destroy Or Subvert Beauty At Its Height, Thus Strengthening Its Appeal And Preventing Its Slow Decay" New York Times "One Of The Great Writers Of The Twentieth Century" Los Angeles Times "Mishima's Novels Exude A Monstrous And Compulsive Weirdness, And Seem To Take Place In A Kind Of Purgatory For The Depraved" -- Angela Carter
About the Author
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.
