In the darkness of the Bezlunna night. Basyo M.

This collection includes the works of Matsuo Basyo, capable of helping the reader to make a clear and clear idea of ​​the style of a person who actually personally created a genre who was to become (and forever remain) a kind of symbol of Japanese poetry - Hike.

Hike, which before him was a purely folk, comic, juicy-collapsible poetic genre-and which he turned into a sparkling-trotted, perfectly clear poetic form, in which the landscape and philosophical lyrics merge into something one-so, so, so, that the pictures of nature are becoming a kind of illustration for philosophical thought.

Basyo poetry is simple and at the same time complex, full of subtle associations, elegant images and almost intuitive to understand the hints, is harmonious and full of purely Zen-Buddhist depth of thought- In a word, it belongs to the greatest literary masterpieces of mankind, unquenchable passage of time.
