Translated from the Japanese by John Bester. A collection of 24 short stories, with a 14 page introduction by the translator. 'Sixteen of these stories first appeared i…n "Winds From Afar", Kodansha International, 1972. All have been revised for this new collection.' ***Near fine in unusual textured grey, white and black printed boards. Very slight bump to the top rear corner. Boards very slightly marked. A few very light spots of foxing to the fore-edge. Interior pages unmarked and clean. No inscriptions. Spine tight. With an original Kodansha International booklet included. ***In a near fine colour-illustrated dustwrapper, which is unpriced for export - with a publisher's price sticker showing the UK price of £22.50. No tears. No fading. Dustwrapper crisp and bright. ***235mm x160mm. 273 pages including notes, plus publisher's adverts to rear. ***'The magic of Miyazawa's tales reaches out people of all ages and lands. The sophiticated reader can savor them consciously as literature, while the younger reader can delight in them as imaginative stories that comment on and deepen their own experience. 'The best of a writer who is as loved in his own country as Lewis Carroll and A. A. Milne in the West.' ***'Miyazawa seems to have been something of a genius.' - The Observer [Quote and review quote taken from the front flap and the back panel of the dustwrapper respectively] ***'Kenji Miyazawa 27 Aug 1896 - 21 Sep 1933) was a Japanese novelist and poet of children's literature from Hanamaki, Iwate, in the late Taishō and early Shōwa periods. He was also known as an agricultural science teacher, a vegetarian, cellist, devout Buddhist, and utopian social activist. Some of his major works include Night on the Galactic Railroad, Kaze no Matasaburō, Gauche the Cellist, and The Night of Taneyamagahara. Kenji converted to Nichiren Buddhism after reading the Lotus Sutra, and joined the Kokuchūkai, a Nichiren Buddhist organization. His religious and social beliefs created a rift between him and his wealthy family, especially his father, though after his death his family eventually followed him in converting to Nichiren Buddhism. Kenji founded the Rasu Farmers Association to improve the lives of peasants in Iwate Prefecture. He was also a speaker of Esperanto and translated some of his poems into that language. He died of pneumonia in 1933. Almost totally unknown as a poet in his lifetime, Kenji's work gained its reputation posthumously, and enjoyed a boom in the mid-1990s around his birth centenary. A museum dedicated to his life and works was opened in 1982 in his hometown. Many of his children's stories have been adapted as anime, most notably Night on the Galactic Railroad. Many of his tanka and free verse poetry, translated into many languages, are still popular today.' [Wiki] ***A first impression of the first edition in English, complete in its original dustwrapper, in bright fine collectable condition. A lovely copy of this uncommon collection. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
