Богиня

Si͡ugo, pochtennyĭ i prosveshchennyĭ otet͡s semeĭstva, eshche v molodosti razgadal taĭnu zhenskoĭ krasoty: esli izo dni͡a v denʹ vnushatʹ zhenshchine, chto ona krasavit͡sa, ona stanet krasavit͡seĭ. Ėtot podkhod on, utonchennyĭ t͡senitelʹ prekrasnogo, godami primeni͡al k zhene, a zatem i k edinstvennoĭ docheri. Vyrastitʹ i͡unui͡u Asako idealʹnoĭ zhenshchinoĭ - takova bezgreshnai͡a, no neoborimai͡a strastʹ ėtogo Pigmaliona. Odnako chto proizoĭdet, kogda idealʹnai͡a zhenshchina i͡avitsi͡a v mir i tam vpervye stolknetsi͡a s li͡ubovʹi͡u i predatelʹstvom?..I͡Ukio Misima (1925-1970) - zvezda literatury XX veka, samyĭ chitaemyĭ v mire i͡aponskiĭ avtor, obladatelʹ blistatelʹnogo talanta, proslavivshiĭsi͡a kak svoimi rabotami shirochaĭshego diapazona i raznoobrazii͡a zhanrov (romany, pʹesy, rasskazy, ėsse), tak i oshelomitelʹnoĭ biografieĭ (oderzhimostʹ bodibildingom, kraĭne pravye politicheskie vzgli͡ady, kharakiri posle neudachnoĭ popytki monarkhicheskogo perevorota). Ego "Bogini͡a" - tonkai͡a, otchasti satiricheskai͡a allegorii͡a tvorchestva (schitaetsi͡a, chto Misima polemiziruet zdesʹ s ėstetom Dzi͡unʺitiro Tanidzaki i tragicheskoĭ figuroĭ i͡aponskoĭ poėzii Osamu Dadzaem) i pronzitelʹnai͡a istorii͡a o realʹnykh li͡udi͡akh, kotorye vo imi͡a li͡ubvi k prekrasnomu pytai͡utsi͡a lepitʹ krasotu iz zhivogo materiala i v rezulʹtate obrecheny lit͡som k lit͡su stolknutʹsi͡a s bogami.Vpervye na russkom!

Shugo, a respectable and enlightened father of a family, solved the mystery of female beauty in his youth: if you inspire a woman day after day that she is a beauty, she will become a beauty. He, a refined connoisseur of beauty, applied this approach for years to his wife, and then to his only daughter. To raise young Asako as an ideal woman is the sinless but irresistible passion of this Pygmalion. However, what happens when an ideal woman comes into the world and encounters love and betrayal for the first time?..Yukio Mishima (1925-1970) was a star of twentieth—century literature, the world's most widely read Japanese author, the owner of a brilliant talent, famous for his works of the widest range and variety of genres (novels, plays, short stories, essays), and a stunning biography (obsession with bodybuilding, extreme right-wing political views, hara-kiri after an unsuccessful attempt at a monarchical coup). His "Goddess" is a subtle, partly satirical allegory of creativity (Mishima is believed to be polemicizing here with the aesthete Junichiro Tanizaki and the tragic figure of Japanese poetry Osamu Dazai) and a poignant story about real people who, in the name of love for beauty, try to sculpt beauty from living material and as a result are doomed to face the gods face to face.For the first time in Russian!
