书籍简介

“丰饶之海”四部曲第三部。

1941年，47岁的本多见到泰国幼小的月光公主，相信她是由勋转世的，在返回日本后他开始研究轮回转世以及唯识论。面对化为废墟的东京，本多期待崩溃更加深化。11年之后，本多已经是初老男人，爱慕长大成人的月光公主，相信她是清显勋的转生，同时因无法摆脱认知的世界而对自己绝望。月光公主20岁，在返国后因为遭响尾蛇咬腿而身亡，新一轮轮回似乎又将开始。

The story of one mans obsessive pursuit of a beautiful woman and his equally passionate search for enlightenment, THE TEMPLE OF DAWN powerfully dramatises the Japanese experience form the eve of World War II through the postwar era. Honda, a brilliant lawyer and man of reason, is called to Bangkok on legal business, where he is granted an audience with a young Thai princess - an encounter that radically alters the course of his life. In spite of all reason, he is convinced she is a reincarnated spirit, and undertakes a long, arduous pilgrimage to the holy places of India, where, in the climatic scene, he encounters her once more, only to have his newfound beliefs shattered and his life bereft of all meaning.

作者简介

三岛由纪夫（1925-1970）是日本著名作家，怪异鬼才，“日本传统文学的骄子”，两次被诺贝尔文学奖提名为该奖候选人。日本著名比较文学研究家千叶宣一认为三岛与普鲁斯特、乔伊斯、托马斯·曼齐名，是20世纪四大代表作家之一。美国的日本文学研究权威唐纳德·金认为三岛是“世界上无与伦比的天才作家”。

三岛在文学上探索着多种的艺术道路，集浪漫、唯美与古典主义于一身，特别是采取日本古典主义与希腊古典主义结合的创作方法，描写男性的生与死的美所取得的艺术成就，是各方公认的。在美学的追求上，三岛着力于对深层心理的挖掘，从隐微的颓唐中探求人性的真实。

以生活为题材向艺术挑战，以肉体为本向精神挑战，这便是三岛作品的真正意义。

三岛主要代表作品有《金阁寺》、《潮骚》、《假面的告白》、《春雪》、《奔马》、《禁色》、《镜子之家》等。

Yukio Mishima was born into a samurai family and imbued with the code of complete control over mind and body, and loyalty to the Emperor - the same code that produced the austerity and self-sacrifice of Zen. He wrote countless short stories and thirty-three plays, in some of which he acted. Several films have been made from his novels, including The Sound of Waves; Enjo, which was based on The Temple of the Golden Pavilion; and The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea. Among his other works are the novels Confessions of a Mask and Thirst For Love and the short-story collections Death in Midsummer and Acts of Worship. The Sea of Fertility tetralogy, however, is his masterpiece. After Mishima conceived the idea of The Sea of Fertility in 1964, he frequently said he would die when it was completed. On November 25th, 1970, the day he completed The Decay of the Angel, the last novel of the cycle, Mishima committed seppuku (ritual suicide) at the age of 45.
