His books broke social boundaries and taboos at a time when Japan found itself in a state of rapid social change. His interests, besides writing, included body-building, acting and practising as a Samurai. In 1970 he attempted to start a military coup, which failed. Upon realizing this, Mishima performed \u003ci\u003eseppuku\u003c\/i\u003e, a ritual suicide, upon himself. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature three times.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBuch (Paperback), B-format paperback, Englisch, 192 Seiten\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65805653770589,"sku":"K089063197","price":11.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/8906319700001A.jpg?v=1788468671","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/life-for-sale-yukio-mishima","provider":"Weltbild.ch Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
