¡Matsu Kyo Jin No Shi(Shincho Bunko)
¡Akutagawa Ryunosuke / Cho
Description
[Machine Translation] Akutagawa was interested in the feelings of martyrs and the issues of contact and reconciliation between the different cultures of the East and West, and pioneered a new field in modern Japanese literature, the "Kirishitan Monogatari" (Kirishitan stories). This collection contains 11 stories, including "Bokkyojin no shinda" (Death of a Bokkyo Man), a masterpiece in the colloquial style of the Bunroku and Keicho periods that elegantly describes the sad but moving end of a young, beautiful, and faithful Kirishitan bokkyo man, and "Ogin" (Ogin), about a woman who lived according to her closest human feelings while suffering the conflict between her faith and her feudalistic morality.
