Little Clothbound Classics, designed by award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, are tempting little versions of short tales, novellas, and essays by the world's finest writers. They take us from winter Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunting New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon, celebrating the richness and diversity of Penguin Classics. These collector editions are beautifully designed and printed, and are bound in colourful, tactile fabric and foil stamped. Akutagawa was a towering figure in modern Japanese literature and is often regarded as the father of the Japanese short story. This archetypal selection, which includes the stories that inspired Akira Kurosawa's 1950 film Rashomon, highlights the awful beauty, cynicism, and profound sorrow of the human condition.
