Perihal pengarang
Lafcadio Hearn, born on June 27, 1850, in Lefkada, Greece, has been a significant figure in cross-cultural literature, particularly known for his profound connection with Japan. A writer with a globe-trotting life, Hearn moved extensively due to a tumultuous early life and complex heritage. His father was an Irish surgeon in the British Army, and his mother hailed from Greece. His writings, inherently infused with an eclectic blend of perspectives, gained critical acclaim for their ethereal and intricate prose. Hearn's fascination with the exotic and the supernatural is well manifested in his book 'Shadowings' which offers a collection of essays and stories exploring Japanese folklore, culture, and the metaphysical. Hearn delved into the unique narrative traditions of Japan, weaving a tableau of its ghostly folklore, which exuded a blend of both his literary style—a mix of romanticism, realism, and impressionism—and the unique aesthetic of Japanese storytelling. Other notable works by Hearn include 'Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things', which further cements his reputation as an interlocutor between East and West, providing Western audiences of the time with unparalleled insights into the mystical realms of Japanese culture. Hearn's legacy lies in his ability to transcend cultural barriers, capturing the essence of his adopted homeland with a delicate sensitivity that continues to resonate through the years.
