"Rashomon" includes 15 novels by Akutagawa Ryunosuke, including "Rashomon", "In the Bamboo Forest", "Hell Transformation" and "The Nose". Among them, "Rashomon" uses a weather-proof layout to push people to the limit of life and death choices, thereby demonstrating the inescapability of "evil" and conveying the author's understanding of people, their helplessness and despair. Although it is short, the plot is simple, and the characters are sparse, the time, place, characters, and ending are all vividly displayed in front of the readers.
Reader comments
Just like "In the Bamboo Forest", it makes people keep thinking in the complicated and confusing plot. I especially like the characters in the book. They are all so vivid and make me feel the complexity and helplessness of life. This book reminds me of Natsume Soseki's "I Am a Cat", which is also an equally wonderful exploration of human nature. It is recommended that you also read it, you will definitely gain something different!
