Shadowings - Paperback

by Lafcadio Hearn (Author)

Lafacadio Hearn (1850-1904) was born in Greece, grew up in Ireland, and worked as reporter in the United States before moving to Japan. A true exhibition of observation, philosophy, reflection, and storytelling, Shadowings is both weird and wonderful. Hearn takes the reader from an ancient Japanese legend of love and spirits to an intimate contemplation on fear to a philosophical study of feminine Japanese names.
