Autorenporträt
Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904), born Patrick Lafcadio Hearn, was a writer of international renown who resided in Japan during the late 19th century. Of Greek and Irish descent, Hearn moved to the United States in his teens before eventually settling in Japan, where he married a Japanese woman and took the name Koizumi Yakumo. A masterful storyteller and collector of Japanese folklore, Hearn's works were pivotal in introducing Japanese culture and literature to the Western world. His writings span a variety of genres, from journalism to ghost stories, revealing a fascination with the mystical and an acute sensitivity to the aesthetics of Japan's bygone eras. 'Kotto: Being Japanese Curios, with Sundry Cobwebs' (1902) is a collection of essays and stories which encapsulates his interests in the peculiarities and rarities of Japanese life. In 'Kotto', Hearn explored historical legends, personal experiences, and cultural oddities with a nuanced and lyrical prose style that continues to captivate readers. His literary legacy is defined not only by his distinctive narrative technique but also by the depth of insight he provided into the heart of Meiji-era Japan. Hearn's profound appreciation for his adopted homeland and his ability to bridge East and West through literature make him a figure of enduring significance in cross-cultural studies and world literature.
