Description - The Temple Of Dawn by Yukio Mishima
The third novel in Mishima's masterful Sea of Fertility tetralogy
Mishima's literary powers are on full display in his penultimate novel, a meditation on reincarnation and Buddhist philosophy.
Honda, a brilliant lawyer and man of reason, is called to Bangkok on legal business. He is granted an audience with a young Thai princess known as 'Moonlight', an encounter that radically alters the course of his life. Convinced she is a reincarnated spirit, he undertakes a long, arduous pilgrimage to the holy places of India. There he encounters her again. But the princess has become one more embodiment of all that Honda cannot possess.
