Yukio Mishima is the most famous and widely read Japanese writer in the world. Renowned for his works as much as for his extravagant lifestyle and death, he is renowned for his work.

"The Thirst for Love" is the writer's third novel, one of his most striking early works, and a UNESCO Masterpiece of Japanese Literature. It is a work of extraordinary power and mastery that explores the destructive force of desire and the different ways people understand love.

The action takes place in the post-war period near Osaka. Following the death of her husband, the young widow Etsuko, a refined beauty and heiress to an ancient family, lives in the house of her landowner father-in-law. His attentions become increasingly obsessive, while she herself is consumed by a secret passion for the young gardener Saburo. Etsuko understands perfectly well that her thirst for love will never be satisfied, but she is powerless to resist her attraction.
