Yukio Mishima
Kultainen temppeli | |
| Notes : | The Temple of the Golden Pavilion (Hepburn: Kinkaku-ji) is a novel by the Japanese author Yukio Mishima. It was published in 1956 and translated into English by Ivan Morris in 1959.
The novel is loosely based on the burning of the Reliquary (or Golden Pavilion) of Kinkaku-ji in Kyoto by a young Buddhist acolyte in 1950. The pavilion, dating from before 1400, was a national monument that had been spared destruction many times throughout history, and the arson shocked Japan. | Translated to Finnish from an English translation "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion". | |

| Description (by producer & GT in English only) : | This is Mishima's novel about the pressure of living an idealised life. It tells a fictionalised account of real events - the lonely acolyte who destroyed a famous Kyoto temple.
Mizoguchi grows up a lonely boy in a poor family, a hopeless and frustrated stutterer. Only tales of the beauty of a famous temple in Kyoto, told by his dying father, sustain him. Taunted by his schoolmates, he eventually escapes to become an acolyte at the temple. But there, witness to acts of callous violence and terrified by the bombing of the war, Mizoguchi develops an all-consuming obsession with the temple's preservation - until the beauty of the place itself starts to feel like his deadliest enemy.
This powerful story of sacrifice and unattainable ideals brings together Mishima's preoccupations with violence, desire, religion and national history to dazzling effect. | Nuori, ujo ylioppilas Mizoguchi saapuu Kiotoon opiskelemaan. Uudet ystävät, kokonaan uudenlainen elämäntapa saavat hänet kiihkeästi tarkkailemaan sekä itseään että ympäristöään. Kaikkialla hän näkee hyvän ja pahan kohtaavan, ja aina on paha voittaja, pimeys valoa väkevämpi. Ylivoimainen kokemuksista on kuitenkin Kultainen temppeli, täydellisen kauneuden, loukkaamattomien elämänarvojen symboli.
Mizoguchi joutuu temppelin lumoihin - ja sen vangiksi.
Kultainen temppeli on Yukio Mishiman arvostetuimpia teoksia; rikas, tiivis, monikerroksinen kokonaisuus, jossa vanhan maailman perinteet ja uuden ajan haasteet törmäävät. Ihmisen sielunmaiseman kuvaajana Mishima näyttää hätkähdyttävän voimansa: itseään ja maailmankatsomustaan etsivän nuoren ihmisen sisäinen kamppailu ja yllättävään, dramaattiseen toimintaan johtava kehitys on kerrottu mestarillisesti, mieliinpainuvasti. | |
