More like 4 and a half stars.My introduction to Yukio Mishimas work a couple of years ago left a lasting impression: the prose, even translated, was intoxicating, the characters tragically real and the setting perfectly captured. A friend especially recommended I read The Sound of Waves next. This is a short book that contains a familiar story: coming of age and falling in love for the first time. We never really get tired of writing and reading about that, do we? But youll find no tired clichésIt always looked like it was going to happen a tragedy, or that they would have real hard obstacles to be together. But being sincere, they both were too young; what is more difficult at that age than the father of your girl decides to lock her up and you are unable to be with her? And also you are so inexperienced about a lot of stuff to know how to react. I liked the writing, very fluid but not simple; after a while I felt I knew the island. I loved the beginning but not that much the ending.
I can't believe he survived. Being a sexy man in a Mishima book must be like being in "Takeshi's Castle". But Shinji makes it through to the final, and carries off the woman with the great tits. Incredible.
I read Yukio Mishima's 'Thirst For Love' sometime back. I thought I should read my next Mishima now. In 'The Sound of Waves', there is a young man called Shinji who works in a fishing boat. He is from a poor family, he has a simple heart, and he works hard. His father died during the war. Shinji lives with his mother, who works as a diver during the diving season, and his younger brother, who is in school. Things are going nicely for Shinji, when one day he meets a beautiful girl who is helping
If you love the sea as I do, then please dont hesitate to read this book. I love my mountains, yes, but I also adore the sea. If I dont go to a beach every few months, then I feel like there is this piercing absence of a good friend from my life. In The Sound Of Waves Yukio Mishima brings the sea alive - its rhythms, forms, and essence. At heart, this is a simple love story. But like most of the Japanese authors I have read, there is a lyricism that touches you. There is a Zen-like poetry to the
What a novel ?! oh my God , how gentle and high moral was the characters !! it was really amazing story of a first love between two innocent good spirits , i loved Japan through this book , and Yukio Mishima's description of scenes makes you really hear the sound of waves love love love .
Clearly, breasts fascinated Mishima. Now that weve established this (or rather he did through a couple of scenes and descriptions)This is a story that embraces modern sexuality and teenage angst, a love story involving a young fisherman, Shinji, and a rich mans daughter named Hatsue. Where there is love, there is rivalry, for Shinji must deal with another boy who feels entitled to Hatsue. As a result, conflict and gossip ensues and though deeply in love, Shinji and Hatsue find themselves
