La mort en été
Dix nouvelles de Mishima sont ici rassemblées reflétant un Japon moderne en proie à ses traditions séculaires. Hommes d'affaires et épouses, geishas, gens du peuple, acteurs de Kabuki, vieux prêtre du temple de Shiga composent cet univers imprégné par l'amour, la perversion, l'argent, la mort. Mishima a l'art de décrire le cheminement des faits dans la conscience des êtres, comme le bouleversement pudique d'un homme et d'une femme japonais face à la noyade de leurs enfants, dans la première nouvelle qui porte le titre du recueil.

Yukio Mishima (三島 由紀夫) was the pen name of Kimitake Hiraoka (平岡 公威), a Japanese author, poet and playwright, also remembered for his ritual suicide by seppuku. At age six, Mishima enrolled in elite Peers School (Gakushuin 学習院). At 12, Mishima began to write his first stories. He read voraciously the works of Oscar Wilde, Rainer Maria Rilke and numerous classic Japanese authors. After six years at school, he became the youngest member of the editorial board in its literary society. Mishima was attracted to the works of Tachihara Michizō, which in turn created an appreciation for the classical form of the waka. Mishima's first published works included waka poetry, before he turned his attention to prose. ([Source][1]) [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukio_Mishima
