Stories that have become part of the literary canon—both Japanese and international.

This collection is a great introduction to the prose of Ryunosuke Akutagawa, a classic whose texts inspired Kurosawa, and whose name has become a symbol of literary excellence in Japan.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa is one of those who transformed Japanese prose into a global classic, blending the subtlety of his native culture with the traditions of European literature. A prize for the most talented newcomers is awarded in his honor in Japan, and the film adaptation of his short story "In the Thicket" (Rashomon) by Akira Kurosawa won an Oscar in 1952.

Akutagawa is an unrivaled master of short fiction. In a few pages, he encompasses entire eras, immersing us in Japanese history and the dramatic depth inherited from Pushkin and Dostoevsky. In this collection, you'll find warm stories of gratitude and poignant novellas about guilt, revenge, and trial—each one gripping from the very first line and lingering.
