The Japanese master's stories, from the inspiration for the film Rashmon to his later, more autobiographical writings, are presented in this collection in a masterful new translation. One of Japan's most prominent stylists, Rynosuke Akutagawa (1892–1927), was a modernist master whose short stories are distinguished by extremely creative imagery, cynicism, beauty, and wild humor. Rashmon and In a Bamboo Grove, which depicts a past in which morality is turned upside down, served as inspiration for Kurosawa's magnificent film, while stories like "The Nose," O-Gin," and "Loyalty" paint a rich and imaginative picture of a medieval Japan populated by Shoguns and priests, vagrants, and peasants. Akutagawa also relied on his own experiences for devastating effect in later works like "Death Registry," The Life of a Dumb Man," and "Spinning Gears," exposing his great melancholy and fear of going insane in gorgeously moving impressionistic tales
