Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lafcadio Hearn IN one of his last essays Lafcadio Hearn said that he would like to be buried in the old Buddhist graveyard behind his garden. He liked the place for its beauty and anti quity, and for its great bell. This bell had a quaintness of tone which wakens feel ings, so strangely far away from all the nineteenth century part of me, that the faint blind stirrings of them, make one afraid - deliciously afraid 1 it caused a striving and a fluttering in the abyssal part of my ghost - a sensation as of memories struggling to reach the light beyond the obscuration of a million million deaths and births. It is a thought easily to be paral leled in any of his books. More than any other man he appears to have been unable to forget the dark backward and abysafi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lafcadio Hearn in Japan: With Mrs. Lafcadio Hearn's Reminiscences, Frontispiece by Shoshu Saito, With Sketches by Genjiro Kataoka and Mr. Hearn Himself I have been often asked about our real Japanese opinion on Mr. Hearn and this book is the reply to a person who might ask it. And no word of apology is necessary, I think, for its existence. And I feel justified in reprinting my letter, A Japanese Defence of Lafcadio Hearn, which was printed in the Sun, New York, and the Japan Times, Tokyo, when Dr. Gould's book appeared a few years ago, because Hearn might have, as I believe, another Dr. Gould in the future, and the letter tells for once and all, the general attitude we Japanese are glad to hold. I thank the editors of the Atlantic Monthly for A Japanese Appreciation of Lafcadio Hearn, for their permission to use it again in this book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Writings of Lafcadio Hearn, Vol. 13 of 16 In the second place, there is no art more difficult than that of making a portrait satisfactory to every one, for the limner of a man, whether he use pen or pigments, can if he be honest only transfer to the canvas the lineaments as he himself sees them. How he sees them depends not only upon his own temperament, but also upon the aspect which the subject of the picture would naturally turn towards such a temperament. For every one of us is aware of a certain chameleon-like quality within ourselves which causes us to take on a protective colouring assimilative to our surroundings, and we all, like the husband in Browning's verse.

This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was no one who did more in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to bring the inner thoughts and ideals of Japan - its religions, its superstitions, its art, its way of thought, all that animates its people - to the West than did Lafcadio Hearn. He lived in Meiji Era Japan and became one of its citizens, linking East with West, but received no public recognition, no decorations; yet, the world places a crown of laurel upon his head. Todai moto kurashi - "The foot of the beacon is dark." In this deluxe, color, edition of Reminiscences of Lafcadio Hearn, Setsuko Koizumi, Mrs. Hearn, has written wonderful, affectionate recollections of her life with Lafcadio Hearn in a book that is simply written, almost naive at times; sometimes funny yet at other times almost tragic, providing insights into herself, her family, and her husband and his wonderful writings on Old Japan. This volume is profusely illustrated with color-tinted or full-color rare, antique photographs from the editor's private collection of Setsuko Koizumi, Lafcadio Hearn, their children, their homes, the places they visited and saw, as well as Hearn's own sketches, including those from his final vacation visit to Yaidzu, making the book an even more personal and enjoyable experience for the reader.
