Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Clear-eyed glimpses of human behavior in the extremities of poverty, stupidity, greed, vanity… Story-telling of an unconventional sort, with most of the substance beneath the shining, enameled surface." --The New York Times Book Review Widely acknowledged as "the father of the Japanese short story," Ryunosuke Akutagawa remains one of the most influential Japanese writers of all time. Rashomon and Other Stories, a collection of his most celebrated work, resonates as strongly today as when it first published a century ago. This volume includes: In a Grove: An iconic, contradictory tale of the murder of a samurai in a forest near Kyoto told through three varying accounts Rashomon: A masterless samurai contemplates following a life of crime as he encounters an old woman at the old Rashomon gate outside Kyoto Yam Gruel: A low-ranking court official laments his position all the while yearning for his favorite, yet humble, dish The Martyr: Set in Japan's Christian missionary era, a young boy is excommunicated for fathering an illegitimate child, but not all is as it seems Kesa and Morito: An adulterous couple plots to kill the woman's husband as the situation threatens to spin out of control The Dragon: A priest concocts a prank involving a dragon, but the tall tale begins to take on a life of its own With a new foreward by noted Akutagawa scholar Seiji Lippit, this updated version of a classic collection is a an excellent, readable introduction to Japanese literature.

Book excerpt: The Umbrella Maker Author: C.O Zuza Translated by Lidia Hartz Publishing house: Cărțulici Romania, 2024 ISBN EPUB 978-606-95884-1-3 Rain is life. Something magical is happening in the Umbrella Maker’s workshop: his umbrellas come to life and decide on their own who they want to go to. “In fact, the umbrellas were changing into the spirit of the people they were choosing.” Things seem to get out of hand when the Umbrella Maker meets the Thistle Princess who desperately wants a magical umbrella. But no umbrella would choose such a Princess since she brings drought and dryness. The suspense grows as rain and clouds might disappear for eternity. What will the Umbrella Maker do to save the rain? I invite you to discover the story of “The Umbrella Maker”.

Download or read book Mandarins written by Ryunosuke Akutagawa and published by Archipelago. This book was released on 2011-03-22 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prefiguring the vital modernist voices of the Western literary canon, Akutagawa writes with a trenchant psychological precision that exposes the shifting traditions and ironies of early twentieth-century Japan and reveals his own strained connection to it. These stories are moving glimpses into a cast of characters at odds with the society around them, singular portraits that soar effortlessly toward the universal. "What good is intelligence if you cannot discover a useful melancholy?" Akutagawa once mused. Both piercing intelligence and "useful melancholy" buoy this remarkable collection. Mandarins contains three stories published in English for the first time: "An Evening Conversation," "An Enlightened Husband," and "Winter."
