Rashomon

About This Novel

This book is a representative masterpiece of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, a giant of Japanese short stories in the Taisho era. It contains nineteen representative short stories such as "Rashomon", "In the Bamboo Forest", "Hell Transformation", "The Nose", "Kappa" and "The Life of a Certain Idiot". The author examines evil with a cold eye, reveals the truth with sharp writing, and launches a series of human dialogues between good and evil, fiction and reality. Although each story is short in length, it is well-conceived and the plot is bizarre yet profound. The film "Rashomon" adapted from the two novels "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Grove" by Japanese film master Akira Kurosawa won the Golden Lion Award at the 16th Venice International Film Festival and the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the 24th Academy Awards.
