| Opplysninger | Opprinnelig utgitt 1962. - Modern Japanese Short Stories is a remarkable collection of Japanese stories from the pioneers of modern Japanese literature. This volume's twenty-five short stories by as many authors display a wide range of style and subject matter--offering a remarkably revealing picture of modern Japanese culture and society. The stories in this anthology include: Tattoo by Junichiro Tanizaki--a large spider tattooed on the back of a young woman results in unexpected changes; Autumn Mountain by Ryunosuke Akutagawa--vivid memories of a beautiful painting leads a man to wonder if the it ever actually existed; The Priest and His Love by Yukio Mishima--a Buddhist priest finds his path to enlightenment challenged after falling in love; The Moon on the Water by Nobel Prize winner Yasunari Kawabata--a young woman who cared for her ailing first husband through most of their marriage regrets remarrying after his death. Featuring a new foreword by Japanese literary scholar Seiji Lippit and striking woodcut illustrations by Masakazu Kuwata, this collection of short stories shows why Japanese literature is so highly valued--it teaches about Japan, the human condition, and the possibilities of art.
