The master of the short story, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa (1892–1927), lived a life as short as a novella, and not very happy. But it was incredibly fruitful. He worked with an obsession that allowed him to create eight collections of stories...
in just over ten years and become one of the greatest Japanese writers of the 20th century. This edition publishes works from different years, reflecting his entire creative path.
The whimsical intertwining of fiction and reality, subtle psychology, truly Japanese conciseness, depth and paradoxical judgments, and of course, the inimitable irony of Ryūnosuke Akutagawa made his work one of the most vivid and unusual phenomena not only in Japanese but also in world literature.
