AKUTAGAWA RYUNOSUKE RASHOMON AND SEVENTEEN OTHE...

"Ryåunosuke 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. 'Rashåomon'
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"
