Ryunosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927) is one of Japan's foremost stylists - a modernist master whose short stories are marked by highly original imagery, cynicism, beauty and wild humour. This work features stories such as Rashomon, In a Bamboo Grove, The Nose, O-Gin, Loyalty, Death Register, The Life of a Stupid Man and Spinning Gears.
