In the country of water. Akutagawa R.

This collection is an exceptional in wealth of the collection of works of the great Japanese writer, relating to the diverse genres of “small” prose. Realistic novels and stories, the action of which belongs to the modern author of the era, interspersed with historical works, which are exquisite for the brilliant literature of different periods of the Japanese Middle Ages, they are replaced by sad and wise literary fairy tales, philosophical parables, even satirical science fiction, stories of autobiographical nature. However, all these texts, surprisingly different in genre and stylistic terms, are filled with an unchanged passion for a person and unusual acuteness of penetration into the most hidden depths of the human mind and soul.
