Description

Description from Amazon - Ryünosuke Akutagawa is one of Japan's foremost stylists—a modernist master whose short stories are marked by highly original imagery, cynicism, beauty and wild humour. ""Rashömon""and ""In a Bamboo Grove"" inspired Kurosawa's magnificent film and depict a past in which morality is turned upside down, while tales such as ""The Nose,"" ""O-Gin"" and ""Loyalty"" paint a rich and imaginative picture of a medieval Japan peopled by Shoguns and priests, vagrants and peasants. And in later works such as ""Death Register,"" ""The Life of a Stupid Man,"" and ""Spinning Gears,"" Akutagawa drew from his own life to devastating effect, revealing his intense melancholy and terror of madness in exquisitely moving impressionistic stories.
