[New edition, new Yukio Mishima]
?gJump over that fire?h, eternal youth is here.
A work by Mishima, 29 years old, whose name has become immortal. [New Commentary] Kiyoshi Shigematsu
On a small island in Ise Bay where ancient legends live, Niiharu, a strong and tanned young man from the sea, meets Hatsue, a girl with cool eyes. Shinji's heart suddenly becomes agitated. A starlit beach, the smell of salty water, and the touching of lips. On a stormy day, the two of them are alone in the ruins of an island, but what happens to their fresh bodies and their love?
A clear crystallization of Mishima's literature that depicts a world of grace, where difficulties and anxieties are melted into the dazzling sun and the sparkle of the sea. Commentary: Shoichi Saeki/Kiyoshi Shigematsu. A chronology is included at the end of the book.
[From the beginning of the text]
Utajima is a small island with a population of 1,400 and a circumference of less than one mile.
There are two places with the most beautiful views on Utashima. One is Yashiro Shrine, built near the top of the island, facing northwest.
From here, you can see all around the Ise Sea, where the island is located at the mouth of the bay. The Chita Peninsula approaches to the north, and the Atsumi Peninsula extends from east to north. To the west, the coastline from Ujiyamada to Yokkaichi in Tsu is hidden. ...("Chapter 1")
