| Book Description | In "The Golden Pavilion," or Kinkaku-ji, the novel that established Mishima's name among the most distinguished writers in the world, the Japanese novelist takes us on a philosophical journey with beauty through a story that shook Japan about a man who burned the most beautiful temple in the world. From his childhood, Mizoguchi hears about the Golden Pavilion from his father, a Buddhist priest. Since childhood, he has also had a stuttering problem, which has made him withdrawn. One day, the father realizes that his death is near, and he asks his son to take care of the temple that was built more than five hundred years ago in Kyoto. He introduces him to the temple's chief, and the boy's journey begins as we accompany him to glimpse Japan before the World War and the changes that occurred until 1950, the year in which the Golden Pavilion, one of Japan's most famous tourist attractions, was burned. Mishima believed that writing is an act of change and presented in this novel a new vision of history infused with his own philosophy on topics such as violence, desire, religion, and beauty. A novel that, by the time we turn the last page, makes it hard not to ponder that everything in the world derives its beauty from the knowledge that it will end at some point. and this, in itself, is the pinnacle of beauty. |
