'It is a most wonderful comfort to sit alone beneath a lamp, book
spread before you, and commune with someone from the past whom you
have never met...' Moonlight, sake, spring blossom, idle moments, a
woman's hair - these exquisite reflections on life's fleeting
pleasures by a thirteenth-century Japanese monk are delicately
attuned to nature and the senses. Introducing Little Black
Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black
Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin
Classics, with books from around the world and across many
centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London
to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to
16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories
lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and
inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions.
Yoshida Kenko (c. 1283-1352). Kenko's work is included in Penguin
Classics in Essays in Idleness and Hojoki.
