內容簡介 一本充滿抒情和令人心悸的短篇小說選集,來自日本文學偶像三島由紀夫一位作家被世界末日的幻象所抓住;一位喜好窺視的侯爵犯下殘酷的罪行;而三名披頭士風的年輕人在一座廢棄教堂的廢墟中,隨著現代爵士樂起舞。在這裡,鮮明的自傳式描寫與純粹的恐怖形成對比,初戀的溫柔讓位於迷戀、心碎以及死亡之美。這本全新選集收錄了三島由紀夫在1960年代創作的短篇小說,展示了三島文學生涯的最後十年,為讀者提供了獨特的機會一窺這位日本文學巨匠的內心世界。在同名短篇〈墮落英雄之聲〉中,一場靈媒降神儀式召喚出二戰期間日本帝國軍官和神風特攻隊員的靈魂,他們責備天皇,並為日本現代的衰退感到悲傷。在另一篇故事中,三島重現了一段真實事件,描述一名精神錯亂的粉絲於黎明時闖入他的家中,執意要求與他會面,並懇求他「說出真相」。此外,故事還涉及一位美麗的少年通過暴力謀殺實現永生,以及一對因一副紙牌而註定糾纏的命運悲劇戀人,他們深陷時間的網絡與未竟的渴望之中。這些故事首次以英文形式發行,經由專家翻譯精心挑選,這些引人入勝的作品是了解三島由紀夫文學世界的完美入門之作,恰逢三島誕辰100周年之際,為他提供了一次令人矚目的致敬。A new selection of lyrically haunting short stories from a Japanese literary iconA writer is seized by apocalyptic visions; a voyeuristic marquis commits a brutal act; and a trio of beatniks dance to modern jazz in the ruins of an abandoned church. Here, stark autobiography contrasts with pure horror, and the tenderness of first love cedes to obsession, heartbreak and deathly beauty. A new selection of Mishima’s short stories from the 1960s, Voices of the Fallen Heroes traces the final decade of Mishima’s career and offers a unique glimpse into the mind of one of Japan’s greatest writers.In the title story, a séance brings forth the spirits of young officers in the Imperial Army and the kamikaze pilots of the Second World War, who reproach the Emperor and mourn Japan’s modern decline. In another, Mishima recounts the true story of the time a deranged fan broke into his home at dawn, insisting on meeting the author and imploring him to ‘tell the truth’. Elsewhere, a beautiful youth achieves eternal life through violent murder, and an ill-matched couple seal their fate with a pack of cards, tangled in the web of time and unfulfilled desire.Available in English for the first time, and carefully selected by expert translators, these captivating stories are the perfect introduction to Mishima's work, on the 100th anniversary of his birth.
各界推薦 書評「在三島由紀夫文學的狂風巨浪中,這些故事如同憤怒、渴望與令人愉悅的殘酷之浪,永遠被美與死亡所親吻。他創作生命最後十年的鬼魂與暴力,不僅揭示了日本戰後充滿創傷與悲痛的樣貌,也為讀者提供了難得的視角。雖然他總是在創作的狂熱中進行,但他的文體卻如此優雅細膩,讓人覺得他的作品超越了時間,既然如此,它確實是永恆的。我熱愛每一頁,並為這些故事的複雜性與黑暗感到震撼。」——瑪麗安娜·恩里奎斯(Mariana Enríquez)「三島由紀夫的全貌在這十四篇短篇小說中展露無遺——這位日本文學巨匠的文學力量在每一頁都被淋漓盡致地展現。他卓越的描寫能力,他作品中備受推崇的溫柔與敏銳,他對文字遊戲的肆意嘲諷與創意,無不令人驚嘆。這裡還隱約顯現出一種不安的徵兆——反動政治觀與對暴力的迷戀,最終導致了他戲劇性的結局。這是一部重要且恰逢其時的作品集,展現了一位在當代依然投下長遠陰影的作家。」——迪亞穆德·赫斯特(Diarmuid Hester)ReviewIn the turbulent sea of the master Yukio Mishima's literature, these stories are waves of fury, desire and delicious cruelty, always kissed by beauty and death. The ghosts and the violence that haunted his last decade of life also offer a glimpse of post-war Japan, a country full of trauma and grief. He wrote always in a frenzy but his style is so elegant and detailed that it seems, and is, timeless. I loved every page and was shaken by the complexity and darkness of these stories -- Mariana EnríquezAll of Yukio Mishima is on display in these fourteen short stories ― the literary muscle of one of Japan’s greatest ever writers flushed and flexed on every page: all of his phenomenal powers of description; all of the celebrated tenderness and acuity of his writing; all of the man’s gleeful irreverence and originality. Here, too, are the signs of disturbance ― of a reactionary politics and a fascination with violence that would lead to his spectacular demise. An important and timely collection of stories by a writer who casts a long shadow across the present -- Diarmuid Hester
