Synopsis "Sombras (in Spanish)"

Popurrí de observación, filosofía, meditación y narración, "Sombras" es una obra tan insólita y cautivadora como su autor, Lafcadio Hearn, el "gaijin" (extranjero) que, a ojos de los propios japoneses, mejor supo comprender la cultura nipona y sus secretos más profundos.
A lo largo de las páginas de este libro Hearn tan pronto nos invita a contemplar íntimamente el terror, sumergiéndonos en un mundo de leyendas de amor y espectros ambientadas en el Japón antiguo, como diserta filosóficamente sobre las cigarras o plantea un estudio detallado de los yobina, los nombres propios femeninos. Gracias a su agudo sentido de la estética y a su misteriosa habilidad para traducir los sentimientos en palabras, Lafcadio Hearn despierta al intelecto y al espíritu y nos ofrece una excelente perspectiva plagada de lirismo no sólo de su país de adopción, sino de la humanidad en general.

(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.
