Synopsis "In Ghostly Japan"

In Ghostly Japan is a classic Japanese folklore and religious studies text by Lafcadio Hearn. And it was at the hour of sunset that they came to the foot of the mountain. There was in that place no sign of life, --neither token of water, nor trace of plant, nor shadow of flying bird, -- nothing but desolation rising to desolation. And the summit was lost in heaven

Lafcadio Hearn

(Greece 1850 - Japan 1904), born in Greece to an Irish father and Greek mother, he was raised between Greece and Ireland. At the age of nineteen, he moved to the United States to start his journalism career and later to Japan in 1890, where he would spend the rest of his life as a teacher and writer. He is noted for his narrative and descriptive talent both in his journalistic and literary work. He was one of the first Europeans to introduce Japanese culture to Western readers. His long stay in Japan, combined with his deep knowledge of Japanese culture and traditions and his poetic imagination and narrative style, have secured him a privileged place in the reading community and an even more privileged place in the hearts of the Japanese.
