About This Novel
At dusk, under the decadent Rashomon clan, a fired servant was waiting for the rain to stop. Just when he was confused about his future and struggling between surviving by stealing and starving to death morally, he saw an old woman on the tower pulling out the long hair of an unknown corpse, preparing to braid it into a wig and sell it for money. The horrifying scene before him prompted him to make a decision... When pushed to the edge of life and death, is the choice of the domestic servant a matter of course? Are the good parts of human nature always vulnerable? Is the end of the choice between good and evil only despair with no way out? A selection of 11 short stories by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, including masterpieces such as "Rashomon", "The Nose" and "Yam Porridge".
