The Outsider: The Life and Work of Lafcadio Hearn (inbunden, eng)
Produktbeskrivning
He travelled the world and became a famous writer but always felt like an outsider—in Dublin, London, Cincinnati, New Orleans, and French-speaking Martinique. To him, none of these places felt like home. Hearn's life in America was punctuated by a string of successes and failures.
In Cincinnati he became the city's best-known crime reporter but was fired after marrying a black woman. Devastated, he moved to New Orleans, where he championed French Creole and Caribbean culture and created the city's image as a place of voodoo and debauchery (the image which many Americans still hold today).
Hearn arrived in Japan at a time of historic change. Sent there as a correspondent, he soon found himself alone and jobless. He settled in the remote town of Matsue, firmly believing that Japan would provide him with an endless supply of rich writing material—perhaps enough to last a lifetime.
Over the next dozen years, Hearn published 15 books which were lauded by the likes of Mark Twain, William Butler Yeats, Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin. Hearn's books made him famous as the leading writer on Japan and Japanese culture. Discover the fascinating journey of Hearn's life and the series of events—from peaks to pitfalls—that shaped his remarkable story, including:His troubled childhood and emigration to America with no job or moneyHis career as a popular newspaper writer and essayist in Cincinnati and New OrleansHis life in Japan where he became a Buddhist, married the daughter of a Samurai and took the Japanese name Yakumo KoizumiHearn's worldwide fame as a writer, especially for his works on ghosts, demons, monsters and the supernatural world of Japanese folkloreAuthor Steve Kemme is president of the Lafcadio Hearn Society/USA and a leading expert on Hearn's life and writings.
This book includes a foreword by Bon Koizumi, Hearn's great-grandson and director of the Lafcadio Hearn Memorial Museum in Matsue, Japan, along with 30 images which portray the pivotal people and places in Hearn's amazing life.
