Lafcadio Hearn

(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.
