Pojďme se nyní zaměřit na styčné body Mišimovy literatury a fašismu z literárního úhlu pohledu. Pokud bychom chtěli popsat Mišimovu tvorbu jedním slovem, dozajista bychom užili termínu literatura “akce.” Zejména jeho pozdní práce se vyznačují silnými aktivistickými tendencemi. Read more …

English original here

“Eu caminho entre essas pessoas e mantenho meus olhos abertos; elas se tornaram menores e estão se tornando cada vez menores: mas isso é por causa de seus ensinamentos sobre felicidade e virtude. Tanta gentileza, tanta fraqueza eu vejo. Tanta justiça e piedade, tanta fraqueza. Suaves, justos e gentis eles são uns com os outros, como grãos de areia são suaves, justos e gentis uns com os outros”. – Zaratustra

“I walk among these people and keep my eyes open; they have become smaller and are becoming ever smaller: but this is because of their teaching on happiness and virtue. So much kindness, so much weakness I see. So much justice and pity, so much weakness. Round, righteous, and kind they are to one another, like grains of sand are round, righteous, and kind to one another.” – Zarathustra[1]

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters

Trevor Lynch

3,747 words

Similar things happen in the United States too: an alienated, bookish radical right-winger takes up weight-lifting and martial arts, creates a private militia, dreams of overthrowing the government, then dies in a spectacular, suicidal, and apparently pointless confrontation with the state. In the United States, however, such people are easily dismissed as “kooks” and “losers.” Read more …
