- Comments: The spine of a book is often the first to show signs of aging and frequent use, bearing the weight of repeated opening and closing. This wear might manifest as creases, cracks, or even partial detachment, but it also signifies that the book has been well-loved and thoroughly read. Such physical characteristics add a layer of history and character to the book, distinguishing it from pristine, untouched copies.

AUTHOR
SUMMARY
The first novel of Mishima's landmark tetralogy, The Sea of fertility Spring Snow is set in Tokyo in 1912, when the hermetic world of the ancient aristocracy is being breached for the first time by outsiders -- rich provincial families unburdened by tradition, whose money and vitality make them formidable contenders for social and political power. Among this rising new elite are the ambitious Matsugae, whose son has been raised in a family of the waning aristocracy, the elegant and attenuated Ayakura. Coming of age, he is caught up in the tensions between old and new -- fiercely loving and hating the exquisite, spirited Ayakura Satoko. He suffers in psychic paralysis until the shock of her engagement to a royal prince shows him the magnitude of his passion, and leads to a love affair that is as doomed as it was inevitable.Mishima, Yukio is the author of 'Spring Snow (Sea of Fertility #1)', published 1984 under ISBN 9780671540623 and ISBN 0671540629.
