Yukio Mishima is the most famous and widely read Japanese writer in the world. He became famous equally for his works in all imaginable genres (novels, plays, stories, essays) and for his extravagant style of life and death (harakiri after an unsuccessful attempt at a monarchical coup). In the novel “Life for Sale,” a young employee of an advertising company, Hanio Yamada, after an unsuccessful suicide attempt, places an ad in the newspaper: “I will sell my life. You can use me as you wish. Confidentiality is guaranteed." And who doesn’t turn to him! His clients include a jealous husband, a nymphomaniac heiress, an embassy intelligence service unable to independently solve the mystery of a poisoned carrot, and even a natural vampire. And so, instead of quietly committing suicide, Hanio Yamada finds himself at the center of a global conspiracy... “A brilliant example of Mishima’s boundless imagination at its peak. Paradoxical ideas about the nature of existence are presented with a trademark ironic grin" (The Japan Times). For the first time in Russian!
