«El marino que perdió la gracia del mar» is the novel by Yukio Mishima, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows Ryuji Tsukazaki, a sailor who, after falling in love with Fusako Kuroda, a widow from Yokohama, decides to leave the sea to settle into life on land. His decision clashes with the expectations of Noboru, Fusako's teenage son, who along with his gang idealizes a hard masculinity and despises the vulnerability of adults. The novel portrays the conflict between youthful rebellion and postwar Japanese society, and moves toward a tragic ending marked by betrayal and disillusionment.
Work originally published in 1963, whose Spanish translation is by Jesús Zulaica. This edition belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo - Literatura collection from Alianza Editorial.
Recommended for readers interested in twentieth-century Japanese literature and in the novels of Yukio Mishima, with a manageable and affordable paperback edition.
