Ecco Little Clothbound Classics: irresistibili mini edizioni di racconti, novelle e saggi dei più grandi scrittori del mondo, ideate dalla pluripremiata Coralie Bickford-Smith. Celebrando la gamma e la diversità dei Penguin Classics, ci portano dal Giappone innevato alla Vienna primaverile, dal New England infestato a un'isola del Mediterraneo baciata dal sole, da una partita a scacchi sull'oceano a una storia d'amore sulla luna. Splendidamente progettate e stampate, queste edizioni da collezione sono rilegate in tela colorata e tattile e stampate con lamina. Akutagawa è stato una delle figure più importanti della letteratura giapponese moderna ed è considerato il padre del racconto giapponese. Questa selezione paradigmatica, che include i racconti che hanno ispirato il film Rashomon di Akira Kurosawa del 1950, mette in mostra la terribile bellezza, il cinismo, il dolore sublime e l'umorismo assurdo della sua scrittura. "Non ci si stanca mai di leggere e rileggere le sue opere migliori. Lo stile elegantemente sobrio ha una brillantezza davvero da brivido - Haruki Murakami.

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.
