Synopsis "Japanese Ghost Stories"

Brilliantly entertaining and eerie ghost stories, regarded as major classics in Japan, by the Irish writer and Japanophile Lafcadio Hearn--whose life inspired bestselling writer Monique Truong's novel The Sweetest FruitsA Penguin ClassicIn this collection of classic ghost stories from Japan, beautiful princesses turn out to be frogs, paintings come alive, deadly spectral brides haunt the living, and a samurai delivers the baby of a Shinto goddess with mystical help. Here are all the phantoms and ghouls of Japanese folklore: "rokuro-kubi," whose heads separate from their bodies at night; "jikininki," or flesh-eating goblins; and terrifying faceless "mujina" who haunt lonely neighborhoods. Lafcadio Hearn, a master storyteller, drew on traditional Japanese folklore, infused with memories of his own haunted childhood in Ireland, to create the chilling tales in Japanese Ghost Stories. They are today regarded in Japan as classics in their own right.

(Grecia 1850 - Japón 1904), nacido en Grecia de padre irlandés y madre griega, se crió entre Grecia e Irlanda. A los diecinueve años se trasladó a los Estados Unidos para iniciar su carrera de periodismo y posteriormente a Japón en 1890, donde pasaría el resto de su vida como profesor y escritor. Destaca por su talento narrativo y descriptivo tanto en su faceta periodística como literaria. Fue uno de los primeros europeos en dar a conocer la cultura japonesa al lector occidental. Su larga estancia en Japón, sumada a su profundo conocimiento de la cultura y tradiciones niponas y a su imaginación poética y estilo narrativo le han asegurado un lugar privilegiado en la comunidad lectora y un lugar más privilegiado aún en el corazón de los japoneses.
