书籍简介

Winner of the First Shinchosha Literary Award
The "MISHIMA" of the world, a best-selling novel renowned in the West
Most beloved by readers, adapted into film and television multiple times
Kubo Shinji, a fisherman living on the secluded Uta-jima Island, is simple and kind-hearted. One day, he meets Miyata Hatsue, the only daughter of a wealthy boat owner who has returned to live on Uta-jima. Shinji, who has never been in love, doesn't understand why his heart races and he feels an inexplicable yearning just by hearing Hatsue's name. They are attracted to and care for each other. During a storm, they take shelter in an abandoned hut, naturally confirming their affection and kissing. Unexpectedly, Chiyoko, who has feelings for Shinji, sees them. Burning with jealousy, Chiyoko tells Kawamoto Yasuo, who is about to marry Hatsue, and spreads false rumors in the village that the two have "had relations." Many obstacles lie between them... This "Romeo and Juliet-esque" arduous journey, with its vivid dramatic conflicts, is the most unique pure love novel written by Mishima at the age of twenty-nine.
Marguerite Yourcenar, author of "Memoirs of Hadrian," once wrote: "'The Sound of Waves' is the blissful novel Mishima could only write once in his lifetime."
"Among Mishima's other works, where all characters have a dark side, 'The Sound of Waves' stands out as particularly unique. Mishima, who is especially skilled at exposing the cruelty of human nature with the sharp incision of a scalpel, is bewilderingly warm in 'The Sound of Waves'." — Writer Hsieh Hsin-yu
