Produktbeschreibung
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 As Lafcadio Hearn remarked, or as any broad, sympathetic mind is pleased to believe, a man should be judged through his strength and conviction. This book, "Lafcadio Hearn in Japan," is our Japanese appreciation; we observed him under many different shades, but our appreciation of his art, and also of him as a man - unique in character doubtless, sincere even to a fault, - and as a professor in our Imperial University, is uniform, I think, through every chapter. Where you will find a frequent repetition in the book is the exact place we wish to emphasize; and if the book appears to lack a certain unity, I will say that it was not my intention to write a biography. I have often heard that the reliability of Hearn´s Japanese books was doubted in a certain quarter as he could not read or even speak well the Japanese language. I say here once for all that his books have not even one misspelling of a Japanese word which is luxury more than a mere delight to our mind nowadays, when so many unwished-for Japanese books overflow.
