Life for Sale: Penguin Modern Classics
Autor Yukio Mishima Traducere de Stephen Dodden Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 feb 2021
'Life for sale. Use me as you wish. I am a twenty-seven-year-old male. Discretion guaranteed. Will cause no bother at all.'
When Hanio Yamada realises the future holds little of worth to him, he puts his life for sale in a Tokyo newspaper, thus unleashing a series of unimaginable exploits. A world of murderous mobsters, hidden cameras, a vampire woman, poisoned carrots, code-breaking, a hopeless junkie heiress and makeshift explosives reveals itself to the unwitting hero. Is there nothing he can do to stop it? Resolving to follow the orders of his would-be purchasers, he comes to understand what life is worth, and whether we can indeed name our price.

Notă biografică
Yukio
Mishimawas
born
in
1925
in
Tokyo,
and
is
considered
one
of
Japan's
most
important
writers.
His
books
broke
social
boundaries
and
taboos
at
a
time
when
Japan
found
itself
in
a
state
of
rapid
social
change.
His
interests,
besides
writing,
included
body-building,
acting
and
practising
as
a
Samurai.
In
1970
he
attempted
to
start
a
military
coup,
which
failed.
Upon
realizing
this,
Mishima
performedseppuku,
a
ritual
suicide,
upon
himself.
He
was
nominated
for
the
Nobel
Prize
for
Literature
three
times.
Recenzii
Yields
a
rare
glimpse
of
the
pulp-fiction
flipside
that
partnered
the
rhapsodic
and
mystical
Mishima...
grotesque,
melodramatic,
spectacular,
utterly
silly
It's funny and horrific and curious and thoroughly entertaining and should win Mishima a new generation of fans
There is a place in life for the exhilarating, surreal and sometimes downright silly. This novel ticks all the boxes
Succeeds in capturing vividly the bathos of the self-pitying modern nihilist... the absurdity of life is conveyed through the tropes of pulp fiction and manga comics
An engaging all-action satire
A writer of immense energy and ability
