Deadly Dialectics: Sex, Violence, and Nihilism in the World of Yukio MishimaUniversity of Hawaii Press, 1 ott 1994 - 288 pagine Although Mishima's main literary ambition was to write philosophical novels in the tradition of Goethe and Thomas Mann, Deadly Dialectics is the first critical study to take this objective seriously: it also provides the first adequate account of Mishima's intellectual background and characteristic modes of thought and it is the first book to show the intimate and integral relation between his thought and his psychology and militant politics - or, more specifically, between his nihilism, his sexuality and his propensity to violence. |
