A beautiful hardback edition of the great Japanese classic .  'Mishima's greatest novel  and
one of the greatest of the past century' The Times   A band of savage thirteen-year-old boys
reject the adult world as illusory  hypocritical  and sentimental  and train themselves in a
brutal callousness they call 'objectivity'.  When the mother of one of them begins an affair
with a ship's officer  he and his friends idealise the man at first  but it is not long before
they conclude that he is in fact soft and romantic.  They regard this disillusionment as an act
of betrayal on his part - and the retribution is deliberate and horrifying.   A tale of youth
and warped masculinity  rediscover the suspensful and deeply ominious classic with this special
edition .  'A page-turning novel...a timeless classic' Independent    Vintage Quarterbound
Classics: Bound to be beautiful
