A young man leaves a girl for the first time in his life and in this extraordinary situation he wants to enjoy his power to the full. Another young man in the student athletic club expects to achieve the highest skill in the art of swordsmanship. Jesus Christ appears to a young shepherd boy and leads his children on a crusade. A shy housekeeper silently worships a university professor and poet for years, and one day he invites her along on a pilgrimage to Buddhist temples, where she discovers the secret of his inescapable sorrow.... Yukio Mishima (1925-1970) is a star of 20th century literature, the most widely read Japanese author in the world, the owner of a brilliant talent, famous both for his works of the widest range and variety of genres (novels, plays, short stories, essays) and for his stunning biography (obsession with bodybuilding, extreme right-wing political views, hara-kiri after a failed attempt at a monarchical coup). His collection of short stories, Fountains in the Rain, are stories written by an infinitely perceptive and ruthless observer, a mosaic that is made up of everyday and dark human passions-the desire for power, narcissism, machismo, vulnerability, and the fear of self-discovery.
