Това е една от най-красиво написаните, трудни за смилане истории, които съм чел. Тук трябва да спомена, че само заради стила на писане / превода (защото само мога да си представя, какво е да се превежда такъв тип автор от японски - чест и почитания към Дора и Пана Барови) мога да дам 5 звезди.
Реших да прочета книгата, защото Юкио Мишима е изключително интересна личност и преди да се запознае човек с неговия живот (и най-вече смърт), виждания и т.н. не би било лесно да се разбере идеята зад "Моряка".
Усещах сериозен повик от "Повелителят на мухите" с цялата тъмнина около детската шайка.

Споделям мнението - изключително красиво написана (и преведена), но не мой тип. И въпреки това, авторът като личност достатъчно е предизвикал интереса ми, че да не се откажа с първата му прочетена книга.

Mishima was a genius when it came to writing his anti-hero. He found the vilest darkness in the hearts of men and weaved it in a beautiful tapestry of horrors. BAM! There goes your own sanity as Mishima playfully smashes all the goodness you believed in. Not a book for everyone, but definitely a book for me.

Äh fy va obehagligt och tragisk, 5/5, boken är kort men lyckas väva in tre fullt nyanserade karaktärer på ett så snygg skriver sätt på så få sidor. Intense

Had mixed feelings after reading it. Made me sad for a while. Now, the writing was out of this world but the story....
You would want a good ending but that doesn't happen
, this was just different... I don't hate it for this but I am also not going to give it more than 3 stars.
