A young man abandons his girlfriend for the first time in his life, and in this unusual situation, he wants to fully enjoy his power. Another young man in the student sports club hopes to achieve the highest level of mastery in swordsmanship. Jesus Christ appears to a young shepherd, who leads the children on a crusade. A shy housekeeper has silently worshipped a university professor and poet for years, and one day he invites her on a pilgrimage to Buddhist temples, where the secret of his inescapable sadness is revealed to her... Yukio Mishima (1925–1970) was a star of 20th-century literature, the most widely read Japanese author in the world, a possessor of a brilliant talent, renowned both for his works, which span a wide range and variety of genres (novels, plays, short stories, essays), and for his stunning biography (an obsession with bodybuilding, extreme right-wing political views, and hara-kiri after an unsuccessful attempt at a monarchical coup). His collection of short stories, Fountains in the Rain, is a collection of stories written by an infinitely perceptive and ruthless observer, a mosaic that is composed of everyday and dark human passions – the desire for power, narcissism, machismo, vulnerability, and the fear of self-knowledge.
