About This Novel

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's classic masterpiece, translated by the famous translator Lin Shaohua. The book contains twelve short stories by Ryunosuke Akutagawa and a caprice "Warnings of the Dwarf". "Rashomon" pushes people to the limit of life and death choices with a suffocating and tense layout, conveying for the first time the author's perspective and understanding of human nature, as well as his helplessness and despair; "Nose" condenses all kinds of subtle and complex psychological activities into three or four thousand words, which is his entry into the palace of literature; "In the Jungle" uses different testimonies or confessions of several people on the same case to show the subtleties of human nature in a confusing and confusing way. This story was adapted to the screen by Akira Kurosawa under the title "Rashomon" and won the Academy Award for Foreign Language Film.

Five or six attractive oranges dyed warm by the sun immediately fell from the sky towards the heads of the children who were seeing off the train.
