A girl from a good family
9.99 €
Kasumi grows up in a prosperous family: her father is a large boss, her mother is a traditional housewife, her older brother has just happily married, and she herself is nurtured, cherished and unobtrusively introduced to promising and reliable young people subordinate to her father, hoping to marry off. Kasumi is studying at the university, laughs at her romantic best friend, no sorrows bother her, but for some reason she is restless. And when Kasumi accidentally learns that one of the promising and reliable young people is not so reliable, but on the contrary, an inspired heartthrob, she makes friends with him secretly from her parents and not without irony observes his adventures, assuring herself that, of course, she is not at all jealous and not even a bit in love. . .
Yukio Mishima (1925-1970) is a star of literature of the XX century, the most read in the world Japanese author, possessor of brilliant talent, famous both for his works of the widest range and variety of genres (novels, plays, stories, essays), and a stunning biography (obsession with bodybuilding, extreme right-wing political views, harakiri after an unsuccessful attempt at a monarchical coup).
The novel “Girl from a Good Family”, a year after its publication, successfully filmed by director Taro Yuge, is a sample of Mishima’s later prose, a mirror room, a subtle comedy, a satire on Japanese intellectuals and a deep analysis of the transformation of a young woman in marriage.
