具体描述
Novelist, playwright, film actor, martial artist, and political commentator, Yukio Mishima (1925-1970) was arguably the most famous person in Japan at the time of his death. Henry Scott Stokes, one of Mishima's closest friends, was the only non-Japanese allowed to attend the trial of the men involved in Mishima's spectacular suicide. In this insightful and empathetic look at the writer, Stokes guides the reader through the milestones of Mishima's meteoric and eclectic career and delves into the artist's major works and themes. This biography skillfully and compassionately illuminates the achievements and disquieting ideas of a brilliant and deeply troubled man, an artist of whom Nobel Laureate Yasunari Kawabata had said, 'A writer of Mishima's caliber comes along only once every two or three hundred years.'

读后感
差不多二十年前，便着迷于一句话——“生似夏花之绚烂，死似秋叶之静美”。出自泰戈尔的它们，因了三岛由纪夫这个名字，深透地印入脑海。尽管，除了《金阁寺》，再没有读过他的任何文字。 《美与暴烈——三岛由纪夫的生与死》，作者亨利·斯各特·斯托克斯，一名英国记者，在...
评分书极有诚意。但后半部比前半部好。因为作者60年代才第一次见到三岛本人，其后有了个人交往，写出的东西也有了实在感：三岛是可见的。而对于这位作家的前半生，作者多由作品及文献推测，但这样其实是非常不靠谱的。文字仿佛是表达意念与精神的最佳方式，却也由此可称之为最佳伪...
评分在《三岛由纪夫追记》一文中，涩泽龙彦写道，“三岛氏一生纠结于蟹”。这使我脑海中涌出一幅奇特的景象，西装笔挺的三岛由纪夫面对餐桌上八块腹肌的赤红的蟹，露出嫌恶的表情。穿斜纹西装的作家和覆红甲的蟹，这是神与神的对峙（日语中蟹与神谐音），也是血与铁的互斥，以健美...
评分看了《美与暴烈----三岛由纪夫的生与死》，真是没话说。立场是难得的客观，文字又美，也真是没辜负了三岛和喜欢三岛的我们。面对三岛，除非是极大的理解与尊重，否则委实难以客观。 封面上是一大束三岛君的目光，就那么耿直的逼视着你，可是这种逼视下又有很天真的东西。...
评分事实上我确实是不那么喜欢日本文学，这里面不包括大众文学，我们都知道的，推理和侦探小说，在当代，及至整个亚洲，日本绝对是出类拔萃的。我说的是川端康成，芥川龙之介，大江健三郎，三岛由纪夫之流，就像一部源始物语，我读了两年还在止步不前，也许我更在意的是怎样的极...

评分对比着读了英文版、日文版和中文版，发现日文版的删节比中文版还多。这本好像过阵儿还会出新的中译本，不知道用的还是不是以前的译本。神奇
