Yukio Mishima is the most famous and widely read Japanese writer in the world. He became famous equally for his works in all conceivable genres (novels, plays, short stories, essays) and for his extravagant style of life and death (hara-kiri after an unsuccessful attempt at a monarchical coup). In the novel Life for Sale, Hanio Yamada, a young advertising firm employee, after an unsuccessful suicide attempt, places an ad in the newspaper: “I will sell life. You can use me as you please. Confidentiality guaranteed." And who just does not turn to him! Among his clients are a jealous husband, a nymphomaniac heiress, an embassy intelligence agency unable to solve the poisoned carrot mystery on their own, and even a natural vampire. And now, instead of quietly taking his own life, Hanio Yamada finds himself at the center of a global conspiracy ... “A brilliant example of Mishima's boundless imagination at its peak. Paradoxical ideas about the nature of being are presented with a signature ironic grin” (The Japan Times).
