About the book
Ryunosuke akutagawa (1892-1927) is one of japan's foremost stylists - a modernist master whose short stories are marked by highly original imagery, cynicism, beauty, and wild humour. "rashomon" 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.
