Opis

Lafcadio Hearn, who died in Japan in 1904, used to be considered one of the best Western writers on Japan in his generation and was widely (and continues to be) admired by the Japanese. Formerly a journalist in Cincinnati renowned for his writing skills in recording horror and the macabre, he came to be known as the great interpreter of Japan. Even today, every Japanese schoolchild knows Koizumi Yakumo (his Japanese name) because they all learn from his short stories in secondary school.
