Yukio Mishima is the most famous and readable Japanese writer in the world. He became famous equally both by his works in all conceivable genres (novels, plays, stories, essays), as well as an extravagant style of life and death (Harakiri after an unsuccessful attempt by a monarchical coup) “The fall of the Angel” is the final novel of the Tetralogy “A Sea of Abundance”, which is considered the pinnacle of the composition of Mishima and a kind of creative testament, this is a work in which Mishima, according to him, “expressed all his ideas” and after which he had nothing “there was nothing about write. Having completed the last novel of Tetralogy, he put an end to his life. The “sea of abundance” contains the quintessence of the own aesthetic system of Misima, combining samurai-synthoist elements with images of European antiquity, the influence of esoteric Buddhism and even Hinduism. The cornerstone of this aesthetics has always remained the theme of death and beauty, the heroes of Mishima try to comprehend the terrible and indefinable mystery of beauty, which exists outside morality and ethics that can enslave and destroy the human person. The plot of the Sea of abundance is based on the idea of reincarnation, which is consistently revealed through the history of tragic love, idealistic self -sacrifice, mystical obsession, the crash of illusions. In “The Fall of the Angel”, a retired lawyer, the old and lonely, is trying to see in a sixteen -year -old teenager the revival of the Thai princess Lunar flower
