Well, I chose not to star the book because the stars about 'like or not like it', and if I chose stars based on my preference and taste, my stars won't do the justice for the book. Here were notes I took while reading: Was Mishima being lazy in this sentence: "Three disciples and dressers joined to remove what had to be removed and store it away" Mishima More information about this seller Contact this seller 7. I've dropped friends because I decided they didn't like me now because I remembered something vaguely bitchy they said one time and then decided some look that may have had nothing at all to do with me was some judgemental look over something stupid like me not having money when they did.

The watching people for the signs of how they live. It is to the author's credit that the heart of the tale is not dead children, but that of a grieving couple surviving, staying together.

  • Sdělování ‚Nevyslovitelného' Speaking of The
    Univerzita Karlova v Praze Filozofická fakulta Ústav Dálného východu Teorie a dějiny literatur zemí Asie a Afriky Dita Nymburská Sdělování ‚nevyslovitelného‘ Poselství skrytá v tvorbě a v životě Mišimy Jukia Speaking of the ‘unspeakable’ Messages hidden in the works and in the life of Mishima Yukio Teze disertační práce vedoucí práce – Prof. Zdenka Švarcová, Dr. 2013 Úvod Předkládaná disertační práce se věnuje Mišimovi Jukiovi a způsobu, jakým tento autor, jehož mysl především v posledním desetiletí života zaměstnávaly úvahy o nedokonalosti lidského jazyka, vyjadřoval to, co nedokázal nebo nechtěl sdělit explicitně. Mišima byl jedním z nejvýznamnějších japonských literátů, jenž napsal řadu povídek, románů, divadelních her, esejí, teoretických prací i novinových článků, své myšlenky ale vyjadřoval i během svých četných veřejných vystoupení a v mnoha diskusích a polemikách se svými kolegy i oponenty. Přesto ale spisovatel ve svých teoretických úvahách i ve své beletrii často vyjadřoval názor, že slova jsou velmi nedokonalým prostředkem pro zachycení reality a předávání vlastních pocitů a myšlenek; každý pokus o jazykové uchopení pravdy je tak, podle tohoto autora, pro svou imanentní nedokonalost již předem odsouzen k nezdaru. V sebereflexích důvodů, které jej přivedly k literatuře, Mišima uvádí, že byl již jako dítě zaujat slovy, zároveň si ale uvědomoval, že v okamžiku, kdy se snaží verbálně zachytit své prožitky, naráží na nepřekonatelnou bariéru. Jeho zápolení s verbálními výrazy jej však neodradilo, naopak v něm poněkud paradoxně vzbudilo touhu pronikat stále hlouběji do říše slov a nalézat prostředky, jak dát skutečnosti odpovídající výraz. Cílem této práce je odkrýt, co a jakým způsobem se snažil vyjádřit autor, který byl již na počátku své spisovatelské dráhy silně zasažen pochybností o smysluplnosti snahy vyjadřovat slovy své poznání, myšlenky a pocity.

  • Yukio Mişima (1925-1970)
    Yukio Mişima (1925-1970) Yazan Z. Z. Kırmızı 2014 1 Sunuş Mishima okurunu bölen, bölerek çoğaltan bir yazar. Onda Doğu‟nun ardına düşen aradığını bulmak için olağanüstü bir çaba harcamalı. Sonuçta ne bulacağı da kuşkulu... Bana göre Batı (?) dünyasının kaynaklarından beslenen, Batılı bir yazar. Kendi Doğusunu Batılı birikimiyle kavramış, açığa çıkarmıştır. Kendisinden çıkardığı kendi konusunda ise kasıtlı bir yanıltma içine girdiğini düşünüyorum. Cıva gibi ele avuca gelmezliğe bedenini de (bile) sürmüştür. Oscar Wilde‟la karşılaştırmak isterdim. Sinemanın çocuğu, sinemanın kabına sığmaz çocuğu. Kurgusu ve görsel imgesi dedirtiyor bunu bana. Yazarın arkasında görüntü yönetmeni var. Yarattığı kurban mitine kurban kılmaktan başka seçenek bırakmadı kendine. Gösterisi (Seppuku) son yapıtıydı. Neye benzediğini kendi göremedi. Dörtlüsü (Bereket Denizi) bunun olanaklı olup olmadığıyla ilgiliydi. Ölülüğünden gelip de muhteşem ölümünü bir film gibi izleyebilecek miydi? Kendini gördü mü? 2 Bir Maskenin İtirafları (Kamen no Kokuhaku, 1949) Gerçek adı Kimitake Hiraoka olan Mişima okumasına başlarken önce yapıtlarını bir listeleyeyim istedim.
