The Blue Age (Yukio Mishima's Work Series)
About This Novel
"A serious pseudo-heroic biography" is a novel written by Mishima Yukio based on real events. It reflects the spiritual vacillation of post-war youth and the restlessness of society. The detailed psychological description analyzes the characters to the point of being revealed. "To this day, it still uncontrollably contains my incredible attachment." This work has a unique status and emotion in Mishima's heart. "The Blue Age" is the fifth novella by Mishima Yukio. It is based on the Light Club Incident (a case in which students from the University of Tokyo initiated black market financial transactions and violated the law). Makoto Kawasaki, a young talent who grew up in a prominent family in a local city, was severely disciplined by his father since childhood, and therefore developed resistance to his father. Cheng is obsessed with rationalism, and took the opportunity of being victimized in a large-scale fraud case to establish an illegal loan sharking financial company. The plan that I thought could successfully conceal the truth and make a net profit was thwarted. Cheng's youth experienced a lonely and nihilistic disillusionment. Mishima Yukio uses an ironic and exaggerated style to give his works a sharp warning and reflection.
