About This Novel
This book selects a total of 14 essays written by Yukio Mishima from 1948 to 1968, taking the title "The Sun and Iron" that best represents his ideological meaning, and organizes it into four parts: "The Sun and Iron", "My Literature", "My Self-Portrait" and "My Family". In terms of time span, this can indeed be regarded as a collection of essays by Mishima Yukio looking back on his life. In these works, he recalled his lost youth, lamented the devastation caused by the war, lamented the various changes after getting married and having children, and reflected on his literary pursuits throughout his life. A boy, a young man, a man in his prime - what this book presents is a Mishima Yukio who is constantly flowing and making solid progress in his thinking. In terms of specific content, the philosophical core of the "Mishima Style" is as mentioned above, which can be summarized as the high degree of unity of "language and action" and "spirit and body", that is, a strong spirit must be carried by a strong body, and powerful words must be supported by powerful actions.
