Sobre aquest llibre
A comic romance set in the snowy north, from one of Japan’s most revered novelists. Available in English for the first time.
Unimpressed by her marriage prospects, 20-year-old Natsuko Matsuura decides to pack it in and enter a convent. But en route to an abbey in the far north of Japan, she meets a young man on a mission, Tsuyoshi Ida, who makes her think again. Travelling together across the wilderness of Hokkaido’s forests in search of the man-eating bear Tsuyoshi has sworn to kill, they find themselves increasingly drawn to one another. With Natsuko’s mother, grandmother and aunt in pursuit, and revenge to be had, the stage is set for an improbable story about the hopes and disappointments of young love, the demands of family, and one very scary bear.

Sobre l'autor
YUKIO MISHIMA was born in Tokyo in 1925. He graduated from Tokyo Imperial University's School of Jurisprudence in 1947. His first published book, The Forest in Full Bloom, appeared in 1944, and he established himself as a major author with Confessions of a Mask (1949). From then until his death he continued to publish novels, short stories, and plays each year. His crowning achievement, the Sea of Fertility tetralogy—which contains the novels Spring Snow (1969), Runaway Horses (1969), The Temple of Dawn (1970), and The Decay of the Angel (1971)—is considered one of the definitive works of twentieth-century Japanese fiction. In 1970, at the age of forty-five and the day after completing the last novel in the Fertility series, Mishima committed seppuku (ritual suicide), a spectacular death that attracted worldwide attention.
