Oxford Book of Japanese Short Stories

Beginning with the late nineteenth-century writings which first assimilated and reworked Western literary traditions, and coming right up to the younger generation dealing with the pitfalls and paradoxes of modern life, this anthology offers a stimulating survey of the development of the Japanese short story, the Japanese literary genre.

Incepand cu scrierile de la sfarsitul secolului al XIX-lea care au asimilat si reelaborat mai intai traditiile literare occidentale si ajungand pana la generatia mai tanara care se ocupa de capcanele si paradoxurile vietii moderne, aceasta antologie ofera un studiu stimulant al dezvoltarii nuvelei japoneze, genul literar japonez.
