We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Lafcadio Hearns Japan : an anthology of his writings on the country and its people" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
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. Almost more Japanese than the Japaneseto think with their thoughts was his aimhis prolific writings on things Japanese were instrumental in introducing Japanese culture to the West.
In this masterful anthology, Donald Richie shows that Hearn was first and foremost a reliable and enthusiastic observer, who faithfully recorded a detailed account of the people, customs, and culture of late nineteen-century Japan. Opening and closing with excerpts from Hearns final books, Richies astute selection from among over 4,000 printed pages not including correspondence and other writing, also reveals Hearns later, more sober and reflective attitudes to the things that he observed and wrote about.
Part One, The Land, chronicles Hearns early years when he wrote primarily about the appearance of his adopted home. Part Two, The People, records the authors later years when he came to terms with the Japanese themselves. In this anthology, Richie, more gifted in capturing the essence of a person on the page than any other foreign writer living in Japan, has picked out the best of Hearns evocations.
Select writings include:
- The Chief City of the Province of the Gods
- Three Popular Ballads
- In the Cave of the Childrens Ghosts
- Bits of Life and Death
- A Street Singer
- Kimiko
- On A Bridge
