Runaway Horses
Runaway Horses | Yukio Mishima
5 posts | 10 read | 14 to read
Isao is a young, engaging patriot, and a fanatical believer in the ancient samurai ethos. He turns terrorist, organising a violent plot against the new industrialists, who he believes are threatening the integrity of Japan and usurping the Emperor's rightful power. As the conspiracy unfolds and unravels, Mishima brilliantly chronicles the conflicts of a decade that saw the fabric of Japanese life torn apart.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

In Part 2 of the Sea of Fertility tetralogy, Honda is 38 years old and meets Isao, the boy in whom he recognizes the reincarnation of Kioyaki, his best friend. Kioyaki died of passion, Isao is as passionate, although for a totally different reason. He hates the way Japan becomes corrupted by Western influences. With his charisma he is able to form a group who wants to fight and then commit seppuku, the traditional Japanese suicide. #1001books
