Description
Book Synopsis
In "In Ghostly Japan," Lafcadio Hearn intricately weaves together the cultural fabric of Japan through a series of haunting and evocative tales inspired by local folklore, ghost stories, and spiritual beliefs. Hearn's prose is marked by its lyrical beauty and immersive quality, drawing readers into a surreal world where the supernatural seamlessly intertwines with every aspect of daily life. Set against the backdrop of Meiji-era Japan, the book captures a period of profound transformation, highlighting how ancient traditions and modernity coexist and often collide in the human experience. Lafcadio Hearn, a Greek-Irish writer who became a naturalized Japanese citizen, sought to bridge Eastern and Western cultures through his vivid storytelling. His deep fascination with Japan's mystical elements and religious traditions was rooted in his experiences as an outsider, allowing him to observe and reflect on the culture with both curiosity and respect. Hearn's love for Japan is palpable in this work, as he aims to preserve the ephemeral essence of its ghostly tales for future generations. "In Ghostly Japan" is essential reading for anyone interested in Japan's rich cultural tapestry and supernatural lore. Hearn's unique perspective, coupled with his artistic flair, invites readers to explore the depths of Japanese spirituality and folklore, making this collection a timeless and haunting journey into the heart of a nation steeped in mystery.Dimensions (Overall): 9.0 Inches (H) x 6.0 Inches (W) x .18 Inches (D)
