Sun and Steel

Yukio Mishima

This literary work written by a controversial Japanese author explores the relationship between physicality, the importance of action, and art. It tells the story of a bookish boy's discovery of his own physical being and his search for identity and self-integration through bodybuilding. The author weaves together self-analysis, philosophy, and poetry in a polished and supple style to create a piece of literature that encompasses all of these elements. In the end, readers will find a moving document that serves as an indispensable key to understanding the art and future development of one of the most interesting novelists of modern times.
