Yukio Mishima's "New Love Lecture" is sharp, transparent, and has a very vicious vision; he often speaks clearly and unabashedly about the love between men and women. The reality is that it makes people hate how he can be so ruthless. However, one second you hated him, thinking that he was old-fashioned but stale, and that he had the true "daddy taste". The next second I fell in love with him, moved by his honest words about the subtleties of human nature. Sometimes you can't tell whether he is praising, scolding or alienating these various men and women in this world. Do you think he is a pure love warrior? Is it desireism? Is it the game world? However, the ending of his life story is that he died as a martyr, a vigorous interpretation of what is called "the aesthetics of ending"... Readers are invited to take part in the situation, capture Yoshimitsu Kataha here, face the lively and knowledgeable Mishima Yukio, and face his true appearance in love.

The late 19th century to the early 20th century was the heyday of great voyages. All countries were eager to try polar exploration. Such ambitions were not limited to developed countries such as the United Kingdom, Norway, and the United States. Even Belgium, which has a weak maritime tradition, also wanted to enhance its national confidence through geographical discoveries. In August 1897, the Belgian baron and explorer De Gerlache boarded the "Belgium" with a dream of glory and set sail from the port of Antwerp to the unknown end of the earth: the icy Antarctic continent. De Gerlache's plans would soon go awry. After experiencing a near-mutiny, a near-shipwreck, and a real death, the "Belgium" recklessly sailed deep into the ice floes as winter approached, falling into a cage of ice and snow. As the sun sets for the final time over the stunning Antarctic landscape, nearly all activity comes to a standstill and survival becomes the team's full-time job. And between the bland canned food and the same life, madness also hangs over the ship like a ghost, looking for the weakest victims... This book focuses on three protagonists - in addition to De Gerlache, who has a national and family mission, and the first mate of the "Belgium" Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian who will become a legend, and Frederic Cook, a team doctor and photographer who is half genius, half liar - tells a little-known but extremely important history of polar expeditions.
