书籍简介

企鹅小布纹经典系列：不可抗拒的，世界上伟大的作家的短篇小说，中篇小说和散文的迷你版，由获奖的科拉莉比克福德·史密斯设计。

为了庆祝企鹅经典的范围和多样性，它们带我们从白雪皑皑的日本到春天的维也纳，从闹鬼的新英格兰到阳光普照的地中海岛屿，从海洋上的象棋游戏到月球上的爱情故事。这些珍藏版设计精美，印刷精美，采用彩色触感布料装订，并贴有金属箔。

芥川是日本现代文学的杰出人物之一，被认为是日本短篇小说之父。这部典范之作包括激发黑泽明1950年电影《罗生门》灵感的故事，展示了他笔下可怕的美、愤世嫉俗、崇高的痛苦和荒诞的幽默。

Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.

Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil.

Akutagawa was one of the towering figures of modern Japanese literature, and is considered the father of the Japanese short story. This paradigmatic selection, which includes the stories that inspired Akira Kurosawa's 1950 film Rashomon, showcases the terrible beauty, cynicism, sublime pain and absurd humour of his writing.

作者简介

芥川龙之介是短篇小说作家、诗人和散文家，也是早期被翻译成英文的日本现代主义作家之一。他1892年出生于东京，10岁开始为学生刊物写作。他毕业于东京大学，获得英国文学学位，并在1919年成为全职作家之前当过教师。他的母亲在他出生后不久就精神崩溃了，他一生都被遗传性精神错乱的恐惧所困扰。他于1927年自杀。

Ryunosuke Akutagawa was a short-story writer, poet and essayist, and one of the first Japanese modernists translated into English. He was born in Tokyo in 1892, and began writing for student publications at the age of ten. He graduated from Tokyo University with an English Literature degree and worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer in 1919. His mother had suffered a mental breakdown shortly after his birth and he was plagued by fear of inherited insanity all his life. He killed himself in 1927.
