Synopsis
Ry nosuke 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. 'Rash mon' 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., This collection features a brilliant new translation of the Japanese masters stories, from the source for the movie "Rashomon" to his later, more autobiographical writings., A stunning deluxe edition of one of Penguin Classics' most popular translations Ry nosuke 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.

- 1***2 (3)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI’m very satisfied with my purchase. Although it did arrive a few days late, it was definitely worth $18 for a densely packed, 1000 paged textbook with lots and lots of questions to reinforce your understanding. In terms of the seller and the condition of the book, the seller was very truthful in their description, and marked the book as “acceptable”. I’ve only explored a fraction of the book, and as far as I’m concerned, the majority is “good”. I’m very happy, it looks great, great quality.
- b***a (1069)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSorry to have to return the book, but the listing appeared as if the 5 vol set of books was listed. I only received vol. 1. Requested a refund and seller sent return slip immediately and issued a complete refund. I would feel comfortable buying from this seller again.
- r***7 (4258)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook that was received had loose and missing pages and fell short of the described condition. Seller responded quickly to this concern and the suggested resolution was much better than hoped for. This was clearly an honest mistake and I highly recommend this seller as honest and professional. A++ seller!
