Description
The Japanese MasterS Stories, From The Inspiration For The Film Rashmon To His Later, More Autobiographical Writings, Are Presented In This Collection In A Masterful New Translation. One Of JapanS Most Prominent Stylists, Rynosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927), Was A Modernist Master Whose Short Stories Are Distinguished By Extremely Creative Imagery, Cynicism, Beauty, And Wild Humor. Rashmon And In A Bamboo Grove, Which Depicts A Past In Which Morality Is Turned Upside Down, Served As Inspiration For KurosawaS Magnificent Film, While Stories Like The Nose, O-Gin, And Loyalty Paint A Rich And Imaginative Picture Of A Medieval Japan Populated By Shoguns And Priests, Vagrants, And Peasants. Akutagawa Also Relied On His Own Experiences For Devastating Effect In Later Works Like Death Registry, The Life Of A Dumb Man, And Spinning Gears, Exposing His Great Melancholy And Fear Of Going Insane In Gorgeously Moving Impressionistic Tales
