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。

在这个令人难忘的集合中，日本民间传说中的幽灵占据了页面。讲故事的大师小泉八云(Lafcadio Hearn)借鉴了日本传统民间传说，融入了他自己在爱尔兰度过的闹鬼童年的记忆，创作了这些令人毛骨悚然的故事。如今，它们在日本被视为特别的经典。

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.

In this haunting collection, the phantoms and ghouls of Japanese folklore stalk the page. Lafcadio Hearn, a master storyteller, drew on traditional Japanese folklore, infused with memories of his own haunted childhood in Ireland, to create these chilling tales. They are today regarded in Japan as classics in their own right.

作者简介

小泉八云（KOIZUMI YAKUMO，1850-1904），爱尔兰裔日本作家，原名拉夫卡迪奥·赫恩（Lafcadio Hearn）。小泉八云写过不少向西方介绍日本和日本文化的书，是近代史上有名的日本通，现代怪谈文学的鼻祖，其主要作品有《怪谈》《来自东方》等。

1850年6月27日，小泉八云生于希腊，后在英法长大。1863年到美国打工，干过酒店服务生、邮递员、烟囱清扫工等，后成为记者。1890年赴日，先后在东京帝国大学和早稻田大学开讲英国文学讲座。1896年加入日本国籍，从妻姓小泉，取名八云。1904年9月26日，因心脏病发而去世，共在日本生活了14年。

The improbable life story of Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) included a peculiarly gothic childhood in Ireland during which he was successively abandoned by his mother, his father and his guardian; two decades in the United States, where he worked as a journalist and was sacked for marrying a former slave; and a long period in Japan, where he married a Japanese woman and wrote about Japanese society and aesthetics for a Western readership. His ghost stories, which were drawn from Japanese folklore and influenced by Buddhist beliefs, appeared in collections throughout the 1890s and 1900s. He is a much celebrated figure in Japan.
