«El pabellón de oro» is the novel by Yukio Mishima, published by Seix Barral in paperback (248 pages, in Spanish).
Mizoguchi, a young stammering novice with an inferiority complex, enters the monastery of Rokuonji. The Golden Pavilion becomes for him the symbol of beauty and a paralysing obsession. Inspired by the real fire at Kinkaku-ji in 1950, the novel reflects on beauty, destruction and life in postwar Japan.
Original title: Kinkaku-ji. Originally published in 1956, it received the Yomiuri Prize for Literature. The Spanish translation is by Juan Marsé.
For readers of Japanese literature and twentieth-century classics, especially those seeking novels of psychological introspection with a historical backdrop.
Kimitake Hiraoka, known by his pen name Yukio Mishima, was a Japanese novelist, playwright, short story writer, actor, martial artist, model, and the leader of an attempted coup d'état that culminated in his seppuku. He is considered one of the most important postwar stylists of the Japanese language.
