Story0
Japanese culture has fascinated the West ever since the country’s doors opened up in the 1800s. In many ways, Japan has remained elusive, and people have travelled from all around the world to see for themselves how unique this nation remains. Another way of exploring this enigmatic culture is through its literature. The English language succeeds surprisingly well in revealing the Japanese sense of life.

Story0
Un ragazzo salva una tartaruga e questa per sdebitarsi lo conduce al palazzo del re dei mari. Oppure salva uno squalo, che finisce per annidarsi nello stagno del suo giardino, e infine gli procura un tesoro. Un samurai sposa una bellissima ragazza di origini ignote, finché un giorno non si accorge che dal suo kimono spunta una coda fulva. E come mai quella mosca che ronza in cucina sembra avere proprio le abitudini del nonno, morto poco tempo fa?

Story0
Il folklore giapponese è ricco di creature spaventose: apparizioni inquietanti, demoni, creature metà animali e metà donne, mutaforma... Ma tutti questi esseri hanno una caratteristica in comune, radicata nella sensibilità del Giappone: non appartengono a una dimensione "altra", condividono il nostro stesso "spazio di realtà". Un elemento, questo, che Lafcadio Hearn riesce a trasmettere appieno, e non a caso le sue selezioni di racconti dal folklore nipponico sono considerate ancora oggi un ponte tra Occidente e Oriente.

Story1
In Ghostly Japan collects 12 ghostly stories from Lafcadio Hearn, deathless images of ghosts and goblins, touches of folklore and superstition, salted with traditions of the nation. While some of these stories contain nightmare imagery worthy of a midnight creature feature, others are not ghostly or ghastly at all. "Bits of Poetry" offers an engaging study on verse, and "Japanese Buddhist Proverbs" explains the meaning of several aphorisms based on Japanese cultural references.

Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) was a writer, critic and journalist. His novel, Chita: A Memory of Last Island, is about a young girl, Chita, who survives a devastating tropical storm. Last Island, a holiday resort in the Gulf of Mexico, is destroyed by the hurricane that kills Chita’s mother and leaves her adrift at sea. Chita is saved and adopted by a Spanish fisherman, Feliu, and his wife, Carmen, a religious woman who perceives the baby as a gift from God.
