Rashomon and Other Stories with Furigana: (In a Grove, Nose, Spider's Thread, Hell Screen, Autumn Mountain) | Ryunosuke Akutagawa

Akutagawa is a masterful short story writing. Translating the Dostoevskys' Parable of the Onion into Japanese cultural setting was so, so well done. A bad person saved from himself by making better choices, and the consequences of selfish choices, what compassion really means. A lot to think about in such a compact story.
