Stray Leaves From Strange Literature

Stray Leaves From Strange Literature is a collection of essays and translations by Lafcadio Hearn, a 19th-century writer and journalist who spent much of his life in Japan. The book features a wide range of topics, from Japanese folklore and mythology to European ghost stories and legends. Hearn's writing style is both poetic and scholarly, and he often includes his own observations and interpretations of the texts he translates. Some of the stories in the book are eerie and unsettling, while others are more whimsical and fantastical. Overall, Stray Leaves From Strange Literature is a fascinating exploration of the world's literary traditions and a testament to Hearn's skill as a translator and interpreter of diverse cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
