Reviews
Enchanting and sometimes terrifying--a certain restrained sorrow, a certain preference for the visual, a certain lightness of touch, seem to me essentially Japanese. Extravagance and horror are in his work, but never in his style, which is always crystal clear. Perhaps he was inspired by Swift's Yahoos [but] halfway through the story, Akutagawa forgets the satiric conventions: it hardly matters to him that the Kappa, who are water imps, turn into humans who talk about Marx, Darwin, or Nietzsche., Powell and Hofmann-Kuroda offer a crisp translation of this strange, densely literary 1927 fantasy novella from Akutagawa (1892-1927)...this is a thought-provoking way to spend an afternoon., One never tires of reading and re-reading his best works... The flow of his language is the best feature of Akutagawa's style. Never stagnant, it moves along like a living thing., Kappa is a scathing satire of contemporary Japan...a welcome reintroduction to an important and often-overlooked classic by one of Japan's most important modern writers as it approaches the 100th anniversary of its publication.

Will buy from this seller again. Fantastic price and I do belive the book was shipped exactly as described. That being said it was shipped in a thin envelope that was about as thick as construction paper and the inside was covered with glue. Book still arrived in decent shape but I think adding some bubble wrap in the future would be a good idea. I'm still giving a 5 star review because it was shipped quickly and I belive when it was given to the post office it was in the described condition.
