Rashomon = Rashomon Gate

This edition is a collection of key prose works by Ryunosuke Akutagawa (1892–1927), covering the entire creative path of one of the greatest masters of 20th-century Japanese literature. The collection includes fifteen iconic texts that trace the evolution of Akutagawa's creativity: from early novellas, where classic plots are brilliantly reinterpreted and the nature of human egoism is exposed, to peak psychological experiments and a painful plunge into the abyss of one's own consciousness.

The collection is aimed at readers who possess the Japanese language at an advanced level and is designed for a deep immersion in the stylistic diversity and lexical richness of the author's original work.
