Japán szellemei - Válogatott mesék és meditációk


Japán kulturális hagyatéka, hiedelemvilágának, művészetének, legendakincsének gazdagsága és különössége a magát évszázadokig hermetikusan elzáró szigetország kényszerű megnyílásától, az 1850-es évektől kezdve ellenállhatatlan vonzerőt gyakorolt és gyakorol a nyugati szellemre. E hatás egyik jeles példája Lafcadio Hearn műve, amely azonban nem csupán lenyomata, hanem a korábbi századvégen nagy hatású formálója is volt a "japonizmus"-nak. Összeállításunk nemcsak a klasszikus japán mesék, rémmesék, legendák Hearn-féle átdolgozásaiból kínál ízelítőt, hanem tartalmazza Hearnnek a japán lélek, a japán világ egy-egy lényeges elemével foglalkozó legfontosabb esszéit és buddhista szemléletű, sajátos hangulatú kozmikus meditációit is.

Manga Jókai


Nechte se strhnout děsivými příběhy Mangy Jókai! Tyto klasické japonské pověsti jsou založeny na příbězích, které napsal slavný autor Lafcadio Hearn mezi lety 1890 až 1904. Oceňovaný komiksový spisovatel Sean Michael, mimo jiné Hearnův velký obdivovatel, se rozhodl některé z nich převyprávět a výsledkem je Jókai Manga! V ní najdete hned sedm nejznámějších klasických pověstí, mezi nimi například: Tajemství ze záhrobí: Mladá žena vyděsí svoji rodinu, když se vrátí jako duch. Nedokáže najít klid, dokud nebude pryč ono šokující tajemství, které po sobě zanechala. Nuke-kubi: Samuraj bez pána se rozhodne přečkat noc v domě jednoho laskavého muže, aniž by tušil, že mu brzy půjde o život. Bude mít totiž co dočinění s bezhlavými skřety! Dívka z obrazu: Mladý muž si pořídí obraz krásné dívky a jeho prvotní zalíbení dosáhne nezdravé posedlosti. Ale copak může dál vést obyčejný život? Mrtvý jezdec: Mrtvá žena se rozhodne pomstít muži, který se s ní rozvedl. A on velice rychle zjistí, že cena, kterou musí zaplatit, aby se dostal z jejích spárů, je přinejmenším bláznivá! Atmosféru jednotlivých příběhů dokreslují úžasné ilustrace od japonské umělkyně Inko Ai Takita z Velké Británie. Autentický zážitek umocňuje i tradiční japonský způsob čtení – odzadu dopředu.

Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan, Vol 1


A Japanese magic-lantern show is essentially dramatic. It is a play of which the dialogue is uttered by invisible personages, the actors and the scenery being only luminous shadows. Wherefore it is peculiarly well suited to goblinries and weirdnessess of all kinds; and plays in which ghosts figure are the favourite subject. -from "Of Ghosts and Goblins"In 1889, Westerner Lafcadio Hearn arrived in Japan on a journalistic assignment, and he fell so in love with the nation and its people that he never left. In 1894, just as Japan was truly opening to the West and global interest in Japanese culture was burgeoning, Hearn published this delightful series of essays glorifying what he called the "rare charm of Japanese life."Beautifully written and a joy to read, Hearn's love letters to the land of the rising sun enchant with their sweetly lyrical descriptions of winter street fairs, puppet theaters, religious statuaries, even the Japanese smile and its particular allure.A wonderful journal of immersion on a foreign land, this will bewitch Japanophiles and travelers to the East.
