Description
Written in 1948, Forbidden Colours is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of human desire. The story revolves around a rich older man who purchases the love of a young man, highlighting the tension between beauty, love, and mortality.
Set against the backdrop of aestheticism and the allure of youth, the novel delves into the themes of desire, beauty, and the human condition. Mishima's prose is both evocative and haunting, creating a sense of longing and melancholy that lingers long after the final page is turned.
First published in 2008, this revised edition of Forbidden Colours offers a powerful and unflinching portrayal of human relationships and the fragility of the human heart.
