Shadowings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163097267)

Shadowings is a collection of twelve essays written by Lafcadio Hearn, a Greek-born writer who spent much of his life in Japan. The essays explore various aspects of Japanese culture, including its art, literature, religion, and folklore. Hearn's writing is characterized by his deep appreciation for and understanding of Japanese culture, as well as his ability to convey the nuances of the language and customs to his Western readers. The essays in Shadowings cover a wide range of topics, from the beauty of Japanese gardens to the ghostly tales of the country's folklore. Hearn's prose is lyrical and evocative, transporting readers to a world that is both foreign and familiar.
