This was a masterpiece and I’m glad someone recommended it to me as among their favorites so I could get through my dislike of the main character though the first 1/3.
The crescendo of emotions, the vivid feeling of being human, the search and attainment(?) of purpose. I want to life my life with the unhinged zest that those two have. I also want to survive my 20s.

Още със самото си заглавие, "Пролетен сняг" подсказва за невъзможността за щастие и предстоящото страдание на своите героите. Снегът през пролетта не е естествен и колкото и красив в своята особеност, той ще смрази зараждащия се живот и ще го върне в състояние на празнота и болка.
"Освен това трите - сънищата, спомените и светите неща, си приличат по това, че не можеш да ги докоснеш с ръка. И тъкмо затова, щом се отдалечиш на крачка от тях, стават свети, превръщат се в чудо, в нещо неописуемо красиво. Светостта е във всичко и всичко е свято, но ние го докосваме и така го оскверняваме. Странни същества сме ние хората. Оскверняваме всичко, до което се докосваме, а носим у себе си онова, което би ни направило свети."

I had mixed feelings about Yurkio Mishima’s novel “Spring Snow.” The story felt a bit uneven in pacing and in tone. I felt like much of the book was heavy in symbolism and meaning. However, many chapters were written like a bad romance novel. The book would often pick up steam, only to come to a grinding halt for a few chapters.
I really disliked the main character, Kiyoaki, who was unbearably immature and angst ridden. Actually, none of the characters were easy to like, but I think that was the point. It takes a really great writer to make the reader compassionate towards dislikable characters. I don’t think Mishima accomplished this in “Spring Snow.”
I don’t want to make it seem like I am discounting him as a writer. I liked the overall plot and he was wonderful creating places and tension. I actually think that he created some great characters, they were just lacking a bit of depth. His writing reminded me a lot of Kazuo Ishiguro and Edith Wharton. Both have written on similar subjects and have a similar style. I feel like this book could be turned into an excellent movie, with faster pacing!

【春雪】10/10❄️
這本書用了非常多比喻的方式
將主角們的感情、發生的事情都轉化成物體
可以輕易地理解但是內容並不直白
反而很唯美～
除了愛情的部分
這本書有很多關於佛教和思想的理論
都是靠理性的本多來帶出這些
可以感受到作者想傳達的東西很多思想也很豐富
雖然不理解「為什麼」清顯一開始對聰子會有那些排斥的感覺
只能理解成年輕男子和不怎麼幸福美滿的家庭出生的人會有的感受
後來清顯終於發現他對聰子的心意時
但是有點太晚的時候
我很意外我能直接接受並且看下去
正常來說我應該要有：「為什麼主角要把事情搞到這種地步才挽回，前面都在想什麼。」
這本書有種魔力
即便最狗血的事情都感覺都很稀鬆平常、理所應當，甚至有點美好
感覺書中還有很多作者想表達的事物我還沒理解
希望之後可以全部想通
#還沒看完就先給這本書滿分10分
#但是有幾句特別直白！之後再來分享🫣

'I've known supreme happiness, and I'm not greedy enough to want what I have to go on forever. Every dream ends. Wouldn't it be foolish, knowing that nothing lasts forever, to insist that one has a right to do something that does?'
An imperial Japanese version of #richkidsoninstagram. Pretentious, empty and boring ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
