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" by Kurosawa), as well as stories that are less known to Western readers, but are even more highly revered in the author's homeland, the action of which takes place against the backdrop of the contemporary reality of Japan at the beginning of the 20th century, which still retains many features of national identity, but is greedily and rapidly "Europeanizing".

Special mention should be made of the reminiscences with classical Russian literature that constantly appear in Akutagawa's work, which he admired infinitely and in which, along with his native history, he found an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
