{"product_id":"murder-in-the-age-of-enlightenment-essential-stories","title":"Murder in the Age of Enlightenment: Essential Stories","description":"A stylishly original collection of seven newly translated stories from the iconic Japanese writer\n\nThe stories in this fantastical, unconventional collection are subtly wrought depictions of the darkness of our desires. From an isolated bamboo grove, to a lantern festival in Tokyo, to the Emperor's court, they offer glimpses into moments of madness, murder, and obsession. Vividly translated by Bryan Karetnyk, they unfold in elegant, sometimes laconic, always gripping prose.\n\nAkutagawa's stories are characterised by their stylish originality; they are stories to be read again and again.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 178227555X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.178227555X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Akutagawa, Ryunosuke\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
