«El temple del pavelló daurat» is the novel by Yukio Mishima, published by Amsterdam in paperback (272 pages, in Catalan).
A novel inspired by a real event: the destruction of the Buddhist temple Kinkaku-ji in Kyoto, set on fire by a young novice. Mishima explores the obsession of a character tormented by the absolute and unattainable beauty of the golden pavilion, a fixation that consumes him and drives him toward a tragic outcome.
Work originally published in 1956 as Kinkaku-ji; it won the Yomiuri Prize. Catalan edition with translation by Kō Tazawa and Joaquim Pijoan Arbocer.
For readers of Japanese literary classics and novels of psychological introspection.
Kimitake Hiraoka, known by his pen name Yukio Mishima, was a Japanese novelist, playwright, short story writer, actor, martial artist, model, and the leader of an attempted coup d'état that culminated in his seppuku. He is considered one of the most important postwar stylists of the Japanese language.
