These stories are filled with keen psychological insights, wry sarcasm, andscarcely veiled criticisms of the clergy, nobles, and peasants alike, suggestingthat there are, among all classes and peoples, similar failings of pride, vanity,superstition and greed-as well as aspirations toward higher moral goals.Japanese Tales from Times Past marks the first time such a large selection hasbeen translated and published for an English-reading audience.
