It is the last installment of Shigekuni Honda`s pursuit of the successive reincarnations of his childhood friend Kiyoaki Matsugae. It is the late 1960s and Honda, now an aged and wealthy man, once more encounters a person he believes to be a reincarnation of his friend, Kiyoaki -- this time restored to life as a teenage orphan, Toru. Adopting the boy as his heir, Honda quickly finds that Toru is a force to be reckoned with. The final novel of this celebrated tetralogy weaves together the dominant themes of the previous three novels in the series: the decay of Japan`s courtly tradition; the essence and value of Buddhist philosophy and aesthetics; and, underlying all, Mishima`s apocalyptic vision of the modern era."--Publisher`s description.  a0  atext  aunmediated  avolume  2lcccBKadsolimenb2025-03-10 13:21:55ddsolimene2025-03-10 13:22:06  a13350  c13205d13205  00102ddc4070aBEDbBEDcBEDd2025-12-21l0oFIC M6872 1990pSH0673r2026-06-18 00:00:00w2025-12-21yBK
