"The Japanese people are more mysterious than I imagined through
Hearn's books." --Albert Einstein Lafcadio Hearn is the most
significant early interpreter of Japan and Japanese culture for the
West--a man who traveled to Japan when he was thirty-nine, and
never left. Lafcadio Hearn's Japan presents Hearn's most famous
stories and essays about his adopted land--recounting his love for
its striking natural beauty and the rich character and customs of
its people. The 18 fascinating essays in this book include: "In a
Japanese Garden" Hearn's classic description of the meditative calm
and serenity he experienced when visiting a traditional Zen garden
just outside his back door "Strangeness and Charm" Expressing his
deep love for the richness and beauty of traditional Japanese
culture "In the Cave of the Children's Ghosts" An account of a
journey to an isolated sea cave where the souls of dead children
are said to congregate Lafcadio Hearn's Japan provides an
unforgettable look at traditional Japan through the eyes of a
sensitive and eloquent foreigner. This new edition features a
foreword by Steve Kemme, a leading expert on Hearn and president of
the Lafcadio Hearn Society (USA). It also includes 21 color photos
showcasing the people and places which Hearn so lovingly describes.
