River Mist and Other Stories by Kunikida Doppo, David Chibbett (translator)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.7mb
Overview: This volume, comprising fifteen of the most widely admired Doppo stories, has been prepared as an introduction to the work of this powerful Japanese author (1871-1908), deeply influenced by Christianity, yet in his writing embroiled with his perceived hostility of the universe. Since many of these stories are autobiographically based, context notes are offered at the beginning of each story to assist the reader. An extensive Introduction examines the author’s life and work in detail. It is hoped that the volume will also act as an introduction to modern Japanese literature in general and lead to further exploration of this wide and varied canvas that is as yet only marginally appreciated outside Japan.
