This book is a selection of lectures delivered by Lafcadio Hearn at the University of Tokyo. It was originally intended to help Japanese students understand Western literature and the peculiarities of Western civilization, but they also provide a unique perspective on the West's relationship with the East. Hearn's extraordinary ability to interpret the exotic in life and literature is highlighted in this collection, which was published in response to a demand for a less expensive volume. These lectures represent the first large attempt by a Western critic to interpret Western culture to an Eastern audience.
