Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Vasily Eroshenko was one of the most remarkable transnational literary figures of the early twentieth century: a blind multilingual Esperantist from Ukraine who joined left-wing circles in Japan and befriended the famous modernist writer Lu Xun in China. Born in a small Ukrainian village in imperial Russia, he was blinded at a young age by complications from measles. Seeking to escape the limitations imposed on the blind, Eroshenko became a globe-trotting storyteller. He was well known in Japan and China as a social activist and a popular writer of political fairy tales that drew comparisons to Hans Christian Andersen and Oscar Wilde.The Narrow Cage and Other Modern Fairy Tales presents a selection of Eroshenko's stories, translated from Japanese and Esperanto, to English readers for the first time. These fables tell the stories of a religiously disillusioned fish, a jealous paper lantern, a scholarly young mouse, a captive tiger who seeks to liberate his fellow animals, and many more. They are at once inventive and politically charged experiments with the fairy tale genre and charming, lyrical stories that will captivate readers as much today as they did during Eroshenko's lifetime. In addition to eighteen fairy tales, the book includes semiautobiographical writings and prose poems that vividly evoke Eroshenko's life and world.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Whispers from a Storm is a collection of political writing by the Japanese human rights activist and Esperantist Hasegawa Teru (19121947). In 1937, the twenty-five-year-old Hasegawa sailed from her home in Nara for Shanghai to join the resistance movement against the Japanese Imperial Armys invasion of China. Writing in Esperanto as Verda Majo, Hasegawa penned essays, open-letters, and reminiscencesstunning artefacts written with fire and pathosfor an international audience and translated here into English for the first time. Hasegawas work interrogates the nature of patriotism, solidarity, and justice in the face of fascism and is as relevant today as it was more than half a century ago. Chief among the works in this collection is Hasegawas unfinished autobiography, Inside Fighting China, an illuminating text that not only offers a rare glimpse into how women, refugees, and internationalists from all over China endured and rallied during a turbulent and bloody time, but also shines a light on one of Esperantos most creative and prolific periods. Whispers from a Storm will introduce readers to an extraordinary figure of transnationalist history whose words will inspire and serve as a testament to the labor of the esperantoj, "those who hope."
