The Temple of the Golden Pavilion by Yukio Mishima

The Temple of the Golden Pavilion by Yukio Mishima

A troubled young Buddhist acolyte becomes consumed by an obsessive fixation on the transcendent beauty of the temple where he serves, and his inability to reconcile the temple's perfection with his own perceived inadequacy curdles into a devastating act of destruction.

Based on a real historical arson case, Mishima explores beauty, obsession and psychological alienation with characteristic intensity, and the acolyte's warped philosophical justification for his actions makes this one of Japanese literature's most unsettling psychological studies.

A landmark psychological novel from major Japanese author Yukio Mishima, based on a true story.
