Romance of the Milky Way

This delightful book presents seven pieces from the rich heritage of Lafcadio Hearn—one of the first and most preeminent scholars to travel to and write about Japan. They are a natural outgrowth of Hearn's peerless philosophy: «If you have any feeling—no matter what—strongly latent in the mind (even only a haunting sadness or a mysterious joy), you may be sure that it is expressible.»Hearn's language, his incomparable prose, ripened and mellowed...

Chinese Ghost Stories

Lafcadio Hearn

Chinese Ghost Stories

Chinese Ghost Stories are a selection of the most entertaining Chinese traditional tales of the strange and fantastic. Hearn had a great affinity for the traditional ghost stories of China, and these stories clearly inspired him as he penned subsequent works. Set in richly atmospheric locales, these tales speak of heroic sacrifice, chilling horror, eerie beauty and otherworldly intervention.This completely reset and pinyin-converted edition of Hearn's classic work contains a new foreword...

Kotto

Kotto

This classic collection of Japanese ghost and folk stories is of enormous importance to the field of Japanese studies.Japanese curios, with sundry cobwebs, excite the curiosity and imagination of a master spinner of tales, and the result is Kotto, another Lafcadio Hearn classic about old Japan. Here Hearn spins tales from old Japanese books to illustrate some strange beliefs. They are only curios, he says laconically, but some of these legends will make your spine tingle and your heart trip...

This collection of writings from Lafcaido Hern paints a rare and fascinating picture of pre-modern Japan Over a century after his death, author, translator, and educator Lafcaido Hearn remains one of the best-known Westerners ever to make Japan his home.

Kokoro

Kokoro

The 15 classic essays collected in Kokoro examine the inner spiritual life of Japan. The title itself can be translated as «heart,» «spirit» or «inner meaning,» and that's exactly what this collection teaches us about Japan. Sometimes touching and always compelling, the writings here tell the stories of the people and social codes that make Japan the unique place it is. «Kimiko» paints the portrait of a beautiful geisha; «By Force of Karma» tells the story of a Buddhist monk; and in «A...

Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan

This is a complete, two-volume set of one of the greatest books of 19th century Japanese history and culture. Though Lafcadio Hearn went on to write a dozen more books on Japan, this collection of first impressions remains his most popular. Among the reasons is that here, more than anywhere else, the author most vividly captured a place that so affected him that he stayed for the rest of his life. The modern reader can still, through these pages, experience that «first charm of Japan,...

La canción del arrozal

Lafcadio Hearn

La canción del arrozal

En un breve relato incluido en La muralla china, Kafka notó que, a riesgo de desmoronarse, el deseo de dejar pasar a través puede transformar a un hombre en puente. Hijo de madre griega y padre irlandés, Lafcadio Hearn abrazó Japón quizá para transformarse en eso mismo. Prueba de ello es La canción del arrozal, una delicada serie de observaciones minúsculas que procuran no solo poner al mágico mundo del Japón tradicional ante la mirada occidental sino también «abrir oídos». Acaso el tratado...
