Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creature’s face was unforgettable. Vacant eyes, a hollowed-out nose, and a red snarling maw. For the young heiress, who catches her first glimpse of this lipless monster through a steamy bathhouse window, its appearance signals the start of her own voyage into the depths of hell. First published in 1930 (Japanese title "吸血鬼", or "The Vampire") this is the fifth full-length Akechi Kogoro novel and the first to feature the boy detective Kobayashi. Born as Hirai Tarō, Edogawa Ranpo (1894-1965) was an influential author and critic known for his tales of the mysterious and macabre. His pseudonym is a rendering of Edgar Allen Poe using Japanese characters. Ranpo often dealt with themes of sexual perversion and the grotesque, as well as writing more conventional crime fiction. Alexis J Brown is a translator living in London.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jun’ichirō Tanizaki is one of the most eminent Japanese writers of the twentieth century, renowned for his investigations of family dynamics, eroticism, and cultural identity. Most acclaimed for his postwar novels such as The Makioka Sisters and The Key, Tanizaki made his literary debut in 1910. This book presents three powerful stories of family life from the first decade of Tanizaki’s career that foreshadow the themes the great writer would go on to explore. “Longing” recounts the fantastic journey of a precocious young boy through an eerie nighttime landscape. Replete with striking natural images and uncanny human encounters, it ends with a striking revelation. “Sorrows of a Heretic” follows a university student and aspiring novelist who lives in degrading poverty in a Tokyo tenement. Ambitious and tormented, the young man rebels against his family against a backdrop of sickness and death. “The Story of an Unhappy Mother” describes a vivacious but self-centered woman’s drastic transformation after a freak accident involving her son and daughter-in-law. Written in different genres, the three stories are united by a focus on mothers and sons and a concern for Japan’s traditional culture in the face of Westernization. The longtime Tanizaki translators Anthony H. Chambers and Paul McCarthy masterfully bring these important works to an Anglophone audience.

Book excerpt: MIYAZAWA KENJI remains not only Japan's most popular and beloved writer of stories for children and adults but a prescient voice for this century on how we can survive and prevail over the most challenging conditions that we face on this planet. Roger Pulvers writes in his Introduction ... "Kenji's message is: It is easy to exclude others who are 'different' from your circle, but if you exclude others, you exclude yourself, because you are inextricably linked to them; it is easy to be unkind to others, but if you are unkind to others, you are unkind to yourself; it is very easy to kill, but if you kill another person, the person who dies within is yourself." "Destroy nature in any or all of its qualities and we destroy human goodness, compassion and love. No Japanese understood this more profoundly than Miyazawa Kenji, and the people of the world need to know that." In this new collection, acclaimed author, translator and film director Roger Pulvers presents, in masterful translations, some of Miyazawa Kenji's most well-known stories. In "The Boy of the Winds" the wind arrives in a village in the form of a boy, Matasaburo, bringing, with great compassion, a warning over the abuse of nature by humans. In "The Bears on Mt. Nametoko," the fate of the king of the mountains, Kojuro, becomes that of the bears he hunts. And in the exquisitely poignant "Barefeet of Light" two young brothers face the cruelest hardships ... and the message Kenji gives us is always one of devotion and love. In addition, there are stories here by other well-known Japanese authors, the final one being the beautiful tribute to the importance of water in our lives, Inoue Hisashi's "The Water Letters." All translations come with commentary that puts the works in their historical and social context. The Japan Times has written of an earlier anthology of his works translated by Roger Pulvers: "The reader can clearly feel Miyazawa's values and hopes for humanity across time...."

Book excerpt: This powerful novel of a nation in social and moral crisis in the early postwar years probes the transition from a feudal Japan to an industrial society. The influence of this book, often considered Dazai's masterpiece, made the term 'people of the setting sun' -- the declining aristocracy -- a permanent part of the Japanese language. Dazai's heroine, Kazuko, the strong-willed young aristocrat who deliberately abandons her class, stands as a symbol of the anomie that pervades so much of the modern world. The distinguished translator Donald Keene has said of the author's work: 'His world...suggest Chekhov or possibly postwar France...but there is a Japanese sensibility in the choice and presentation of the material. A Dazai novel is at once immediately intelligible in Western terms and quite unlike any Western book.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ‘Perilous Play’ we are thrust amongst a group of wealthy Southern Belles and boys on a particularly boring day, until a young doctor among them produces treats infused with cannabis. Taking them eagerly, the group soon finds themselves falling through a raucous, cannabis fuelled thrill ride with some almost fatal consequences. In many ways it is the 19th century equivalent of ‘Pineapple Express’ but with frocks and no Seth Rogen. Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an author, abolitionist and proud feminist. Her family suffered financially while she was growing up and so she was forced to take on multiple jobs in her youth to help provide for her family. Her writing became her outlet, forming her ideas and beliefs in the empowerment of women and people into literature that reverberates to this day. Her most notable works include "Little Women", which is now a movie starring Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet, its sequel ‘Little Men’ and ‘An Old Fashioned Girl’.

Included in this volume are: "Silver Pitchers," the story of the popular girls who take a stand against drinking by forming a temperance club; "Anna's Whim," a love story; "Transcendental Wild Oats," the satire of her father's utopian experiment; "The Romance of a Summer's Day," the romance of a young lady seeking independence; " My Rococo Watch," an account of desire gone humorously wrong; "By The River: A Legend of the Assabet," a charming and fatalistic tale of a young poet; "Letty's Tramp," another charming tale of friendship and love; "Scarlet Stockings," a Civil War romance; and "Independence: A Centennial Love Story," which is precisely what the title suggests. Alcott wrote the stories in 1875, the Centennial year of the American Revolution's beginning, and has a strong theme of independence within romantic love.
