About this ebook:
Akutagawa's voice is one of the most remarkable in modern Japanese fiction: an acutely intelligent mind, a humiliated soul, engaging as readily with Baudelaire as with Confucius. These narratives and vignettes -- some having received little attention until now -- delicately dovetail ancient myth with modern reflection. Akutagawa combines Eastern sentiment with Western thought to astonishing effect, offering a uniquely moving insight into mental and social fragmentation.This edition contains the following short stories:RashomonThe NoseKesa and MoritoThe Spider's ThreadHell ScreenThe BallTu Tze-chunAutumn MountainIn a GroveThe Faint Smiles of the GodsSan SebastianCogwheelsA Fool's LifeA Note to a Certain Old Friend
