Spring snow

A brief about the book "Spring Snow" is an integrated and standalone novel, but at the same time, it is strongly connected to its three sister novels: "The Running Geese," "Temple of Dawn," and "Fall of the Angels," forming together Mishima's rare masterpiece in world literature: the "Sea of Fertility" tetralogy. The hero of "Spring Snow," the boy "Kiyawaki," a descendant of the noble Japanese Maxogai family, lives an unforgettable love story, with his friend "Honda" witnessing his unique and captivating love story. In each subsequent volume, we find that the hero is nothing more than the first hero but after his transmigration through reincarnation, to begin a new cycle of existence, and only "Honda" knows the connection that links the four heroes, through two specific elements: three birthmarks carried by all the heroes, and a set of wondrous dreams... Mishima was certain that his tetralogy is the culmination of everything he learned as a writer. He pointed out to his friends that when he finished writing it, he would have only one thing left: "suicide" — and that indeed happened.
