Pressestimmen
"Mishima is like Stendhal in his precise psychological analyses, like Dostoevsky in his explorations of darkly destructive personalities."
-- Christian Science Monitor
"[The Sea of Fertility] is a literary legacy on the scale of Proust's."

Kurzbeschreibung
Tokyo, 1912. The closed world of the ancient aristocracy is being breached for the first time by outsiders - rich provincial familes, a new and powerful political and social elite. Kiyoaki has been raised among the elegant Ayakura family - members of the waning aristocracy - but he is not one of them. Coming of age, he is caught up in the tensions between old and new, and his feelings for the exquisite, spirited Satoko, observed from the sidelines by his devoted friend Honda. When Satoko is engaged to a royal prince, Kiyoaki realises the magnitude of his passion.

The first volume of the Tetralogy 'The Sea Of Fertility', 'Spring Snow', is a truly wonderful book. Maybe the best word to describe it would be 'beautiful'. The way the author writes (the English translation is very well done) brings you immediately into the world of this book. The way the thoughts and character of Kiyoaki Matsugae, the main character of this book, are described is incredibly realistic, amazing at times and interesting. He soon grows to your heart, which makes the further development of the story and the end even more touching.
After you've read the book there's this empty feeling inside you, not really knowing what to think or to do - it leaves a very strong impression.
I very much enjoyed reading this book, it's wonderful, and you can't do a mistake buying it.

Mishima has the ability to get underneath the skin of his readers. What seems like an innocent and harmless story of adolescence gradually becomes one of fundamental importance. In my view, this is the most brilliant of the three Mishima novels I have read. It is a masterpiece which leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. None of Mishima's characters seem happy and even the 'heroes' are ambiguous, despite the fact that many of them are perfect in physical terms. We have to judge the character for ourselves without help, rather like a film without background music. There is a strong homo-erotic undercurrent in Mishima's work, even though the central relationship in this novel is heterosexual. The focal character, Kiyoaki, seems to be massochistic and derives a form of pleasure from his own destruction.
I would strongly recommend anyone who is interested in the complexities of relationships and the specific cultural life of Japan to read this novel. Above all, it should be read for the intricacy and skill of its literature.

This work is mesmerizing - so much so that I read it instead of studying for the Bar exam. It is not a fast read by any stretch of the imagination but it is difficult to put down once you are drawn into the world Mishima draws. It took me two attempts to get past the first twenty pages but four years later it is the last book I read which had the potential to transform. I also confess that the novel is confusing and I don't believe that I understand the subtle dream world that Mishima writes of on a conscious or intellectual level. But the novel is haunting and presents a story of love (not, I believe, the one that is portrayed on the novel's surface) in such indescribable complexity and depth that the novel is felt in and remains in the heart of the reader who will walk away from the novel with a profound sadness. The novel is one of the few worth the effort of reading. And the title, a beautiful image, is a perfect recapitulation of the work.

Beautiful!
I first read this book back when I was a College Freshman. Back then the book presented a very good picture of the aristocratic life of early 1900's Japan to me. Lesen Sie weiter...

Dostoevsky meets Hesse in Japan
The sheer precision of this author's psychological insight would be enough. But inclusion of the historical element as well brings it into the realm of genius. Lesen Sie weiter...

Riveting: it makes you want more
Perhaps I shouldn't review this book in light of the fact that I haven't read the whole tetralogy. However, after reading 'Spring Snow' I'm trying to plow through 'Runaway Horses'... Lesen Sie weiter...

Mishima's most perfect novel
While the last three books of Mishima's Sea of Fertility cycle tend to get bogged down in somewhat convoluted philosophical arguments, which may hold interest for some (Temple of... Lesen Sie weiter...

Astounding, if distrurbing, story of a spiritual journey.
Briefly, the Sea of Fertility tetrology has much in common with Dostoevsky. Mishima's characters act within the tight confines of aristoocratic Japan in the early to mid 20th... Lesen Sie weiter...

Beautiful, moving, delicate, and unforgettable.
Spring Snow is a dramatic, moving work that helps codify Mishima's tetralogy, the Sea of Fertility, as perhaps the 20th century's greatest magnum opus. Lesen Sie weiter...
