One of Penguin Classics' most popular translations now also in our elegant black spine dress
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. "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.
