Forbidden Colours by Amazonundefined
Description
Written when Mishima was only twentysix,
Forbidden Colors
is a depiction of a male homosexual relationship, in which a rich older man buys the love of a young man who is stunningly handsome but who lacks the ability to love. As in Mann's
Death in Venice
, the older man's longing for the beauty of youth is associated with aestheticism and death.
O autorze
Yukio Mishima
was born in 1925 in Tokyo, and is considered one of the Japan's most important writers. His books broke social boundaries and taboos at a time when Japan found itself in a state of rapid social change. His interests, besides writing, included body-building, acting and practising as a Samurai. In 1970 he attempted to start a military coup, which failed. Upon realizing this, Mishima performed
seppuku
, a ritual suicide, upon himself. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature three times.
