Synopsis "The Frolic of the Beasts (Penguin Modern Classics)"

The gripping story of an affair gone horribly wrong, from one of Japan's greatest twentieth-century writersKoji, a young student, has fallen hopelessly in love with the beautiful, enigmatic Yuko. But she is married to the literary critic and serial philanderer Ippei. Tormented by desire and anger, Koji is driven to an act of violence that will bind this strange, terrible love triangle together for the rest of their lives. A starkly compelling story of lust, guilt and punishment, The Frolic of the Beasts explores the masks we wear in life, and what happens when they slip. 'One of the greatest avant-garde Japanese writers of the twentieth century' New Yorker

Yukio Mishima (nombre literario) nació como Kimitake Hiroaka en Tokio en 1925 y se suicidó en 1970 en protesta por el fin del Japón tradicional. Estuvo nominado para el premio Nobel, pero fue después de su muerte cuando alcanzó fama internacional. Mishima vivió, como tantos japoneses de su generación, el embate de dos modelos de cultura: la occidental y la propia y milenaria del Japón. Escritor plural y fecundo, Confesiones de una máscara, su primer éxito notable, le hizo famoso con tan sólo veinticuatro años.
