Tales of the Disturbed (Volume 1) by Yoshio Toyoshima (Author), J.D. Wisgo
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 185 KB
Overview: This collection of stories from Yoshio Toyoshima, a classic Japanese author active in the first half of the 20th century, takes an uncomfortably close look at the “disturbed”––in other words, those mentally troubled to the degree that it affects their daily lives, if not their sanity. Showcasing a dark side of Japanese literature, they are at times introspective, symbolic, even metaphysical.
These tales touch upon a variety of topics––the therapeutic properties of an ancient forest, the mental strain caused by hectic life in the big city, a mysterious figure who threatens the very existence of reality––and are sure to delight fans of classic Japanese literature, yet are also accessible for people new to the genre.
For those who have enjoyed stories like Osamu Dazai’s “No Longer Human” (who happened to be not only a respected contemporary of Toyoshima’s, but also a close friend who is rumored to be the inspiration for one of these stories), this is a must-read collection of stories available for the first time in English.
