SynopsisThe dramatic climax of the SEA OF FERTILITY, bringing together the dominant themes of the three previous novels; the decay of Japan's courtly tradition and samurai ideal, and the essence and value of Buddhist philosophy.
Mishima's goal in The Sea of Fertility was to encapsulate everything he knew and believed about life, death, love, and beauty. In this book we find a bleak and heart-wrenching vision of modern life and the corruption of the Japanese soul.
