"Doctor, why is this happening? I don't hear the music." This is the mystery and tragedy of a young woman who one day came to see a Tokyo psychoanalyst and turned all his ideas about himself and about man in general upside down. With her strange words, for her, for him, and for everyone around them, the descent into hell begins - into the twilight world of human feelings, where the secret life of the body, heart and mind becomes the subject of intense investigation. In this winding journey, everything is shaky and changeable, lies and omissions lead astray again and again, the solution is elusive, and the music is not music at all. In the blackness of the world, a woman stubbornly and courageously searches for the lost ability to feel, which was taken from her very early by the thoughtless cruelty of those who were near. A woman walks the wrong path, running into dead ends every now and then, hoping only that one day light will suddenly spill into the blackest of abysses – her own soul. And next to her, her loved ones walk in amazement and horror, and inside them, the same black abysses gape. Yukio Mishima (1925–1970) is a star of 20th-century literature, the most widely read Japanese author in the world, a possessor of a brilliant talent, famous both for his works of the widest range and diversity of genres (novels, plays, short stories, essays), and for his stunning biography (obsession with bodybuilding, extreme right-wing political views, hara-kiri after an unsuccessful attempt at a monarchical coup). “Music” is his late novel, an almost detective story about the secrets of the human soul, a journey into the dark depths from which none of us return the same.
