<p>From the literary giant of Japan, who is often referred to as the "Godfather of the Japanese short story," and after whom the most coveted literary prize in Japan is named, the Ajutagawa Prize, comes this collection of three of his greatest short stories. Akutagawa is probably best know for his sotry "Rashomon" which was adapted for the screen by legendary filmmarker Akira Kurosawa. While he died at the young age of 35, the author penned will over 150 short stories, including "Cogwheels" which he wrote just before his suicide in 1927. Accompanied by stunning woodcuts by renowned artists Naoko Matsubara, and expertly translated by Howard Norman, the three stories compiled here reflect the haunting, precise and brilliant style of Akutagawa and offer a superb entry point of his work. Haruki Murakami aptly described Akutagawa's writing when he remarked, "the flow of his language is the best feature of Akutagawa's style. Never stagnant, it moves along like a living thing...His choice of words is intuitive, natural-and beautiful."</p>
