小說家的休日時光

by Yukio Mishima, 三島由紀夫, 吳季倫 (Translator)

《小說家的休日時光》是三島由紀夫在靈感與創作力最巔峰時期，以日記形式寫下的散文隨筆與評論作品，本書維持三島一貫犀利真誠、大膽嘲諷的寫作風格，被譽為可匹敵法國文豪蒙田《隨筆集》的傑作。

「今天為止我探討過的各種主題，全是信手捻來、自由發揮，但看在有心人士眼裡，恐怕正是現代日本文化混亂的最佳範例吧！」

從文明、藝術到政治，甚至關於犯罪、死亡、性傾向等，三島在書中探討了許多根除時代病根的主題，無不行走在當代議題風潮的尖端，帶領讀者一同見證他嶄新獨特的文學軌跡。

About the author

Yukio Mishima (三島 由紀夫) was born in Tokyo in 1925. He graduated from Tokyo Imperial University’s School of Jurisprudence in 1947. His first published book, The Forest in Full Bloom, appeared in 1944 and he established himself as a major author with Confessions of a Mask (1949). From then until his death he continued to publish novels, short stories, and plays each year. His crowning achievement, the Sea of Fertility tetralogy—which contains the novels Spring Snow (1969), Runaway Horses (1969), The Temple of Dawn (1970), and The Decay of the Angel (1971)—is considered one of the definitive works of twentieth-century Japanese fiction. In 1970, at the age of forty-five and the day after completing the last novel in the Fertility series, Mishima committed seppuku (ritual suicide)—a spectacular death that attracted worldwide attention.
