Akutagawa Ryūnosuke was a respected author in pre-WWII Japan. He was well-read, and having received a Westernized education, his work blends traditional themes of Japanese culture with Western concepts. This edition collects the handful of English translations in the U.S. public domain of his nearly 200 short stories. The stories deal with a variety of themes and concepts: "The Nose" is a tale about vanity and perception of one's image, "Rashōmon" deals with morality in the face of necessity, and "The Story of a Fallen Head" is an anti-war story. Akutagawa often ends his stories with a reflection related to the plot, spoken either by a character or by the narrator to the reader. Akutagawa Ryūnosuke (died 1927) was a major literary figure of the early 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, Various Translators exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.
