Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A masterful exploration of faith, culture, and the human soul from the father of the Japanese short story.Ryunosuke Akutagawa is loved for his psychological masterpieces. Yet, some of his most profound and intellectually stimulating writing lies in his Kirishitan-mono (Christian tales). This was a compelling series of stories exploring the dramatic collision between Roman Catholicism and traditional Japanese culture and beliefs. The Complete Christian Works of Akutagawa gathers every one of these haunting narratives into one essential volume, for what may be the first time in English. Set against the backdrop of feudal Japan, these stories delve into the deeply complex era of the Kakure Kirishitan (Hidden Christians) who practiced their faith in secret, often venerating pseudo-syncretic figures like the Maria Kannon.Through Akutagawa's precise and philosophical lens, readers are brought to a world where serene devotion meets lurking temptation - where the divine grace of heaven clashes with the mischief of the tengu. He masterfully dissects the psychology of martyrdom, the ethics of belief, and the rigid social hierarchies that are challenged when two vastly different worldviews intersect.Inside this collection, you will discover: - Profound Cultural Synthesis: A brilliant literary blending of Catholic theology, ethical dilemmas, and rich Japanese folklore.- Philosophical Depth: Complex explorations of morality, logic, and the enduring human spirit that will resonate deeply with those who enjoy classical philosophy and intellectual debate.- Unforgettable Imagery: Vivid tales of saints, samurai, demons, and outcasts navigating a rapidly shifting spiritual landscape.Discover a lesser-known but fiercely brilliant facet of one of Japan's greatest literary minds. Perfect for students of world literature, history, and the intricate philosophy of religion.…
