Summary
Illustrando il celebre compendio del folklore giapponese， Benjamin Lacombe offre un tributo al lavoro di Lafcadio Hearn。 All’inizio del Novecento， lo scrittore irlandese fu uno dei primi occidentali a ottenere la cittadinanza giapponese: l’amore per la cultura della sua nuova patria lo portò a percorrere le varie province del Paese， al fine di trascrivere le storie di fantasmi e le leggende tramandate di generazione in generazione。 In "Storie di fantasmi del Giappone" Benjamin Lacombe sceglie lo stile adatto a ogni racconto， reinterpretando l’ampia gamma del bestiario tradizionale con la sua inimitabile arte。 In appendice al volume， alcuni giochi ispirati a quelli tradizionali permettono d’inventare la propria leggenda di yokai。 La presente edizione， a cura di Ottavio Fatica， riprende parte dei testi da lui tradotti per Adelphi nella raccolta Ombre giapponesi， completandola con altri， qui proposti per la prima volta al pubblico italiano。

How are you going to rate this less than five stars？ It’s translated folklore — important work with little creative room for the translator。 5 stars for doing good works Mr。 Hearn。

The title and front cover might be misleading; most of the stories in the book are not at all scary and are relatively ghost-free！ These folklores rather depict ancient Japanese faith and rituals in such vivid details that make for captivating reading。Yet， if you want to feel the thrill of fear， read “A Passional Karma” and “The Reconciliation”。 The latter also appears in the film “Kwaidan”。

Paul Murray’s terrific introductory essay grounds this selection of work in the context of Hearn’s lifelong fascination with the supernatural， his peripatetic lifestyle and his capacity of self-reinvention at crucial points。 The stories themselves are atmospheric and fascinating from a cultural perspective， but often very same-y in their imagery and narrative structure。

La edición es preciosa， de eso no hay duda。Sin embargo， los textos me han parecido poco cuidados。 Se hecha en falta algo de contexto， las citas al final rompen la lectura。。。 se hace referencia a libros de los que no dan el nombre。。。 pequeños detalles que desmerecen todo el trabajo de ilustración y de diseño que habrían hecho de este libro una joya。

This new （2019） anthology from Penguin collects all Hearn's Japanese ghost stories together from where they are scattered across numerous books published originally between 1894 and 1904。 I’d read most of them before but not all of them。 And not all of the best ones are from his last， most widely-read book （Kwaidan， 1904）， either。Hearn led an incredible life。 Born on the Greek island of Lefkada to a Greek mother and British father， he moved first to Dublin， then to County Durham in England， then This new （2019） anthology from Penguin collects all Hearn's Japanese ghost stories together from where they are scattered across numerous books published originally between 1894 and 1904。 I’d read most of them before but not all of them。 And not all of the best ones are from his last， most widely-read book （Kwaidan， 1904）， either。Hearn led an incredible life。 Born on the Greek island of Lefkada to a Greek mother and British father， he moved first to Dublin， then to County Durham in England， then to the East End of London; before journeying across the Atlantic to live in Cincinnati， New Orleans and the French West Indies; before finally settling in Japan。 He married an ex-slave whilst in Cincinnati at a time when mixed-race marriage in America was illegal。 He worked as a journalist in America; and， in Japan， as first an ESL teacher and then as an English lecturer at Tokyo Imperial University （now Japan’s top higher education institute， the University of Tokyo）， a post in which he was succeeded by Japan’s most respected novelist， Natsume Soseki。 Whilst in Japan he came to be regarded as one of the preeminent interpreters of Japanese culture to the West， a position which he still holds today。I was first put onto Hearn by my Japanese wife’s dad， who rightly guessed that his life and work would interest me。 Hearn is one of the key influences on the fascination and love with which I came to regard Japanese culture when I first lived in Japan in my early twenties， from 2001 to 2003。 I’ve since haunted Hearn’s footsteps， visiting the houses where he lived （and which are still there） in Matsue （western Japan）， Kumamoto （southern Japan） and Dublin （it’s now a hotel， where my wife and I managed to stay）。 His residences in Tokyo are gone but there is a little park named after him in Shinjuku， with a statue， all nicely restored the last time I visited it in 2013。Hearn’s Japanese ghost stores are based on Japanese folk tales that he made an effort to find out and translate。 The English prose he tells them in is lucid， direct and effortlessly invokes an unstoppable feeling of menace and creepiness。 Out of all Hearn’s many writings on Japanese culture， wildlife （especially insects！） and religion， it is his ghost stories that are the most accessible and the most memorable。The ghosts， demons and goblin-type creature in these stories have the power to physically harm， and even kill， the living; and often do so， in horribly violent fashion。 One of the things that make these stories so striking and scary is the often quite long time-lag between a character’s first meeting with a ghost and the eventual， usually startling or horrifying， climax。 A man typically marries a woman who might be a ghost but， after twenty years passes and nothing unusual happens， you think that perhaps she isn’t a ghost after all， and everything’s OK。 But it isn’t。 some of the stories are dreadfully sad。 The man finds out that his wife is actually the spirit of a tree that is suddenly felled， and she dies， after years of happy marriage。The stories are full， in fact， of demons or spirits pretending to be women， and of women pretending to be alive when in fact they are dead。 These women are invariably beautiful and sexually alluring， hoodwinking the man， who is usually the unwitting victim。 There may well be a man’s elemental fear of women imbedded in many of these tales。Paul Murray， in his introduction to this collection， makes an insightful point about Hearn when he says that “Crucial to his achievement was a respect for the validity of a Far Eastern culture， unusual among contemporaneous Western observers。” This is spot on。 Hearn at first respected and then became absolutely besotted with and immersed in Japanese culture， considering it in many important ways superior to the Western culture he had left behind， which he thought of as shallow， materialistic and mechanised to the point of inhumanity; and at the same time， he bitterly and painfully lamented the old Japanese culture which he saw passing out of existence at the hands of modernisation and Westernisation。 Hearn married a Japanese woman， had a Japanese family， took a Japanese name （Koizumi Yakumo） and became a Japanese citizen。 He died in Japan， aged 54， of heart disease， and is still a much-respected and much-loved figure there， especially in the small， traditional， charming city of Matsue， where he was happiest。 。。。more

This was my first time reading a Penguin Classic edition of a book so I'd like to start off by discussing that fact。 It feels weird knowing that editions like these exist， and yet when I studied English Literature in school， we were not recommended to buy any specific editions of the books that were mandatory reads。 This edition offers a lot of information about the author， footones， notes at the end and a reference list for further reading。 All of this would have bee useful back when I was stud This was my first time reading a Penguin Classic edition of a book so I'd like to start off by discussing that fact。 It feels weird knowing that editions like these exist， and yet when I studied English Literature in school， we were not recommended to buy any specific editions of the books that were mandatory reads。 This edition offers a lot of information about the author， footones， notes at the end and a reference list for further reading。 All of this would have bee useful back when I was studying English Lit， although I probably would not have appreciated it as much as I do now。Initially， I was expecting the stories to be a bit more on the scarier side。 I was pleasantly surprised to find that a lot of them explored a wider variety of themes， most commonly the theme of love。 If you are looking for something that will scare your socks off， I recommend looking up scary urban Japanese stories instead of this book。 This collection focuses on older tales and holds a wonderful ancient feeling of the unsettling。 Whilst not terrifying， they are still morbid and creepy at times。 If I had to pick a favourite story out of them all， I'd likely say very first story of the collection， purely because I find it both endearing and comical。 I can see myself using this book for reference in my studies within the future which is a bonus - to the enjoyment this book brought to me。 。。。more

Precioso libro， tanto por su temática como por sus dibujos。 Algunos cuentos tienen un típico final de la literatura japonesa， es decir， no terminan y parece como si la acción se hubiese interrumpido por alguna causa desconocida。 Afortunadamente ya había leído otros libros de escritores japoneses y estaba preparada para esta sorpresa。 Me apunto el leer otros cuentos de Lefcadio Hearn para más adelante。

a fascinating introduction to Japanese supernatural stories and their curious fusion of Buddhism， Shintoism， folk tales， and history。 the annotations were a bit of a mess in places， but interesting and informative。 the introduction was very good， covering both the cultural background to the stories as well as the personal history of Hearn himself and how the two influenced his writing。
