About the author

Toyoko Yamasaki

131 books21 followers
Toyoko Yamasaki (山崎 豊子, real name Sugimoto Toyoko; 3 November 1924 – 29 September 2013) was a Japanese novelist.

A native of Osaka, Yamasaki worked as a journalist for the Mainichi Shimbun from 1945 to 1959 after graduating from Kyoto Women's University in Japanese literature. She published her first story, Noren (1957), a story of a kelp trader, based on the experiences of her family's business. The following year, she won the Naoki Prize for her second novel Hana Noren, the story about the founder of an entertainment group. A major influence on her writings of that period was Yasushi Inoue, who was deputy head of the Mainichi Shimbun's cultural news desk.

Yamasaki wrote some stories based on actual events. For example, Futatsu no Sokoku is derived from the biography of a Japanese American David Akira Itami, and Shizumanu Taiyō is based on the Japan Airlines Flight 123 accident. Several works of hers were featured in films and television dramas.

銀行局長天真地希望可以五間中型銀行合併,以與大型銀行抗衡,但五行都為了自己銀行的主導權不願讓步,表面上看起來討論合併方向,實則敷衍了事,萬表大介便藉此機會觀察各家銀行的內幕狀況,而發現了大同銀行內三雲總裁與棉貫專務的大大不合。

同時間,大兒子鐵平為了美國臨時取消訂單所造成的資金缺口而東奔西跑,除了大同銀行好友三雲總裁的支持,還需要父親領導的阪神銀行也給予融資協助。在一次酒酣耳熱後,鐵平透露大同銀行的三雲總裁對自己大力情義相挺,讓大介心裡的計畫有了雛形。大介與棉貫搭上線後,便技巧性地讓大同銀行順利通過阪神鋼鐵的融資,卻同時要求阪神銀行停止對阪神鋼鐵融資,並要求自己派駐於阪神鋼鐵的資金部錢高部長做表面融資,要讓其他銀行都以為阪神銀行持續融資的情況下繼續給予金援,但事實上阪神銀行實際給予的融資率卻遠遠低於帳面。

正當劇情愈趨詭譎,阪神鋼鐵突然發生高爐氣爆。除了造成人員死傷外,高爐建設也被迫停工兩個月,所造成的資金缺口再度拉大。面對厄運不斷,鐵平的壓力無以復加,劇情在此進入下一個高峰。

支線部分,可以感受到庭院深深深幾許的悲哀。妻子寧子雖貴為貴族後代,卻被迫容忍與丈夫的情婦共處一室,甚至偶爾淪為丈夫與情婦的性愛玩物;大女兒一子因政治聯姻所嫁的美馬中喜歡拈花惹草,甚至覬覦大介的情婦相子;小兒子銀平如魁儡般接受父親所安排的婚事,卻極盡冷漠地對待妻子萬樹子,導致萬樹子懷孕五個月卻流產;二女兒二子想反抗相子安排的政治聯姻,希望跟阪神鋼鐵的職員四四彥在一起,卻被父親軟性威脅。這個家雖然有著遠比常人更富裕的生活環境及知識水平,卻無法嘗到親情的溫暖。同在一個屋簷下卻如履薄冰,粉飾和平下的劍拔弩張眼看將隨著大介的詭計浮現,而一觸即發。
