This collection includes both historical stories and novellas that brought Akutagawa worldwide fame and are automatically associated with his name (including the legendary "In the thicket", which served as the basis for the script of the immortal film "Rashomon" Kurosawa), and less known to Western readers, but revered in the homeland of the author even higher stories, the action of which takes place against the background of the author's contemporary reality of Japan in the early twentieth century, still retaining many features of national identity, but greedily and rapidly "Europeanizing". Special mention should be made of the reminiscences that constantly arise in Akutagawa's work with classic Russian literature, which he admired to the full and in which, along with his native history, he found an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
