书籍简介

芥川龙之介被公认为“日本短篇小说之父”，他一直是日本颇具影响力的作家之一。《罗生门与其他故事》是他著名的作品集合，它在今天和一个世纪前第一次出版时一样引起了强烈的共鸣。

本卷包括:

《In a Grove》讲述了在京都郊外的罗生门三个不同的故事，一个没有实权的武士在与一位老妇人的邂逅中思考着他的犯罪生涯；

《Rashomon》讲述了一位地位低下的朝廷官员一直在哀叹他的地位，同时边渴望着他喜欢的菜肴；

《Yam Gruel》故事发生在日本的基督教传教士时代，一个小男孩因为生了一个私生子而被逐出教会，但事实并非如此；

《Kesa and Morito》一对不忠的夫妇密谋杀害这名女子的丈夫，局势可能会开始失控；

《The Dragon》一个牧师编造了一个与龙有关的恶作剧，但这个荒诞的故事开始有了自己的生命。

这是由著名的Akutagawa学者Seiji Lippit所作的一个新的前言，这是一本经典文集的更新版本，是一本优秀的、可读的日本文学入门书。

Widely acknowledged as "the father of the Japanese short story," Ryunosuke Akutagawa remains one of the most influential Japanese writers of all time. Rashomon and Other Stories, a collection of his most celebrated work, resonates as strongly today as when it first published a century ago. 

This volume includes:

In a Grove: An iconic, contradictory tale of the murder of a samurai in a forest near Kyoto told through three varying accounts

Rashomon: A masterless samurai contemplates following a life of crime as he encounters an old woman at the old Rashomon gate outside Kyoto

Yam Gruel: A low-ranking court official laments his position all the while yearning for his favorite, yet humble, dish

The Martyr: Set in Japan's Christian missionary era, a young boy is excommunicated for fathering an illegitimate child, but not all is as it seems

Kesa and Morito: An adulterous couple plots to kill the woman's husband as the situation threatens to spin out of control

The Dragon: A priest concocts a prank involving a dragon, but the tall tale begins to take on a life of its own

With a new foreward by noted Akutagawa scholar Seiji Lippit, this updated version of a classic collection is a an excellent, readable introduction to Japanese literature.
