Description
The Sea of Fertility tetraology reaches its dramatic climax in this 1960s novel. Honda, an aged and wealthy man, adopts a 16-year-old orphan, Toru, whom he believes is the reincarnation of the tragic protagonists of the previous three novels. Honda raises and educates Toru, making him his heir, and watches him, waiting for something to happen. But Toru is also watching Honda, and their complex relationship unfolds. A dark and original novel, this book is a mesmerising saga of 20th-century Japan. It is a story of ritual, sacrifice, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. With its subtle and chilling portrayal of human nature, this novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in literary fiction. Published in 2001, this edition features a new introduction, making it a great choice for readers looking to explore the works of Yukio Mishima.
