En tjener træffer et skæbnesvangert moralsk valg. En munk forsøger at skille sig af med sin næse. Syv vidner til et mord aflægger indbyrdes modstridende forklaringer. Det er handlingerne i tre af den japanske novelles fader, Ryunosuke Akutagawas, mest berømte fortællinger, som nu præsenteres i ny dansk oversættelse.Med et blik for det groteske og i et stilrent sprog sætter Akutagawa livets store spørgsmål under lup. Han behandler de øjeblikke, hvor menneskets selvbillede krakelerer og skyndsomt bliver limet sammen igen, med lige dele humor og gru. Det er, når personerne står over for det evige og umulige spørgsmål ”Hvem er jeg?”, Akutagawas noveller begynder – om så identitetskrisen skyldes arbejdsløshed, voldtægt eller en mirakelkur mod en 12 centimeter lang næse.Ryunosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927) anses for at være faderen til den japanske novellegenre og lægger navn til en af landets to største litterære priser, Akutagawa-prisen. Han var inspireret af både de japanske folklore-klassikere og Vestens store novelleforfattere, med en forkærlighed for det absurde og det uhyggelige. Han opnåede stor popularitet i sin samtid, men tog sit eget liv som ganske ung efter en tiltagende angst for at have arvet sin mors sindssygdom. Akira Kurosawas filmklassiker Rashomon – Dæmonernes port (1950) er baseret på en sammenskrivning af ”Rashomon” og ”I et krat” og blev det store gennembrud for japansk film i den vestlige verden.
A collectible hardcover edition of the best stories by the father of the Japanese short story--including the two that inspired Kurosawa's classic samurai film about the subjectivity of truth--featuring an introduction by Haruki Murakami A Penguin Vitae Edition Ryūnosuke Akutagawa is one of Japan's foremost stylists--a modernist master whose short stories are marked by highly original imagery, cynicism, beauty, and wild humor. "Rashōmon" and "In a Bamboo Grove" inspired Akira Kurosawa's magnificent film and depict a past in which morality is turned upside down, while tales such as "The Nose," "O-Gin" and "Loyalty" paint a rich and imaginative picture of a medieval Japan peopled by Shoguns and priests, vagrants and peasants. And in later works such as "Death Register," "The Life of a Stupid Man," and "Spinning Gears," Akutagawa drew from his own life to devastating effect, revealing his intense melancholy and terror of madness in exquisitely moving impressionistic stories. Penguin Vitae--loosely translated as "Penguin of one's life"--is a deluxe hardcover series from Penguin Classics celebrating a dynamic and diverse landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction from seventy-five years of classics publishing. Penguin Vitae provides readers with beautifully designed classics that have shaped the course of their lives, and welcomes new readers to discover these literary gifts of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.
'One never tires of reading and re-reading his best works. Akutagawa was a born short-story writer' Haruki Murakami 'The quintessential writer of his era' David Peace These are short stories from an unparalleled icon of modern Japanese literature. Sublimely crafted and shot through with a fantastical sensibility, they offer dazzling glimpses into moments of madness, murder and obsession. A talented and spiteful painter is given over to depravity in pursuit of artistic brilliance. In the depths of hell, a robber spies a single spider's thread being lowered towards him. When a body is found in an isolated bamboo grove, a kaleidoscopic account of violence and desire begins to unfold. Vividly translated by Bryan Karetnyk, this mesmerising collection brings together a series of essential works from the master of the Japanese short story. Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe. Translated by Bryan Karetnyk Ryunosuke Akutagawa was one of Japan's leading literary figures in the Taisho period. Regarded as the father of the Japanese short story, he produced over 150 in his short lifetime. Haunted by the fear that he would inherit his mother's madness, Akutagawa suffered from worsening mental health problems towards the end of his life and committed suicide aged 35 by taking an overdose of barbiturates.
The Kappa is a creature from Japanese folklore known for dragging unwary toddlers to their deaths in rivers: a scaly, child-sized creature, looking something like a frog, but with a sharp, pointed beak and an oval-shaped saucer on top of its head, which hardens with age. Akutagawa's Kappa is narrated by Patient No. 23, a madman in a lunatic asylum: he recounts how, while out hiking in Kamikochi, he spots a Kappa. He decides to chase it and, like Alice pursuing the White Rabbit, he tumbles down a hole, out of the human world and into the realm of the Kappas. There he is well looked after, in fact almost made a pet of: as a human, he is a novelty. He makes friends and spends his time learning about their world, exploring the seemingly ridiculous ways of the Kappa, but noting many--not always flattering--parallels to Japanese mores regarding morality, legal justice, economics, and sex. Alas, when the patient eventually returns to the human world, he becomes disgusted by humanity and, like Gulliver missing the Houyhnhnms, he begins to pine for his old friends the Kappas, rather as if he has been forced to take leave of Toad of Toad Hall...
Etot sbornik predstavljaet soboj iskljuchitelnoe po bogatstvu sobranie proizvedenij velikogo japonskogo pisatelja, otnosjaschikhsja k raznoobraznym zhanram "maloj" prozy.

Odnako vse eti teksty, udivitelno raznye v zhanrovom i stilisticheskom otnoshenii, napolneny svojstvennoj Akutagave neizmennoj strastnostju otnoshenija k cheloveku i neobychajnoj ostrotoj proniknovenija v samye zataennye glubiny chelovecheskogo uma i dushi.
'One never tires of reading and re-reading his best works. Akutagawa was a born short-story writer' Haruki Murakami The stories in this fantastical, unconventional collection are subtly wrought depictions of the darkness of our desires. From an isolated bamboo grove, to a lantern festival in Tokyo, to the Emperor's court, they offer glimpses into moments of madness, murder, and obsession. Vividly translated by Bryan Karetnyk, they unfold in elegant, sometimes laconic, always gripping prose. Akutagawa's stories are characterised by their stylish originality; they are stories to be read again and again.

JAPANESE EDITION with notes in English A lively introduction to Japanese literature by world famous author Akutagawa Rynosuke Kami-naga-hiko lives in the ancient Japanese province of Yamato. He makes his living as a wood-cutter, but he is also an exceptionally talented musician. One day, a mountain god, who has been captivated by the sound of Kami-naga-hiko's playing, offers to give him anything, anything he cares to mention, in grateful thanks for the joy that his music brings. At first the god is astonished that Kami-naga-hiko asks only for a dog, but then, pleased by the modesty of the request, he promises that the dog will be the most wonderful one in all the world. This unexpected visitation and miraculous gift are, however, just the beginning of Kami-naga-hiko's adventures and he soon finds himself on a quest to rescue a pair of nobly born sisters from the clutches of their not entirely human abductors. The story is written in a straightforward way and in it elements of Japanese folklore are skilfully combined with some of the traditional traits of European fairy stories. It was written for a juvenile audience and first published in the Akai Tori magazine in 1919. Despite its age, the plot-line may seem familiar to fans of modern-day anime and manga, as the story revolves around an apparently unlikely hero who encounters samurai warriors and a variety of super-natural beings as he battles his way to a (hopefully) happy ending. This edition features: - Modern Japanese text - Kanji with furigana readings - Detailed notes in English *Recommended for intermediate students. About the author: - Akutagawa Ryunosuke (1892 - 1927) is probably best known for literary works such as Rashomon, Hell-screen and Kappa, and it is a tribute to his standing as a writer that several of his short stories are well-known in the West and have been available in English translation for many years. The few stories that he wrote for a younger audience (of which Inu to Fue is one) are less well known, but none the less well-crafted. Other books in this series include: Taketori Monogatari - retold by Dr. Mankichi Wada Niwa - Two Tales - (Matsuri no Ban and Futari no Yakunin) - by Kenji Miyazawa
