'Rashömon' and 'In a Bamboo Grove' inspired Kurosawa's magnificent film and depict a past in which morality is turned upside down, while tales such as 'The Nose', 'O-Gin' and 'Loyalty' paint a rich and imaginative picture of a medieval Japan peopled by Shoguns and priests, vagrants and peasants. And in later works such as 'Death Register', 'The Life of a Stupid Man' and 'Spinning Gears', Akutagawa drew from his own life to devastating effect, revealing his intense melancholy and terror of madness in exquisitely moving impressionistic stories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winding Stair Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57346797863260,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/0691\/0035\/files\/9780140449709.jpg?v=1776095160","url":"https:\/\/winding-stair-bookshop.myshopify.com\/products\/rashomon-by-ryunosuke-akutagawa","provider":"Winding Stair Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
