В этой книге собраны произведения блестящих мастеров хайку конца XIX — начала XX вв. Масаока Сики, Такахама Кёси, Танэда Сантока, Нацумэ Сосэки, Акутагава Рюноскэ и других, чьи имена для японского читателя столь же знаковые, как для русского читателя имена Блока и Хлебникова, Гумилёва и Есенина. Сохранив верность заветам Басё, Бусона и других патриархов хайку эпохи Эдо, молодые реформаторы бросили вызов обветшавшему средневековому канону. В их стихах дзэнская созерцательность не противоречит напряженному поиску новых литературных горизонтов, смелому эксперименту. В эпоху грандиозных культурных преобразований они сумели заложить основы эстетики «духовной революции», создав удивительный сплав старого и нового. Трехстишия «серебряного» века приоткрывают перед читателем тайну Бытия в утонченных образах, порожденных бессмертной Традицией.

Legendary Japanese novelist Soseki Natsume dissects the human personality in all its complexity in this unforgettable narrative. Keitaro, a recent college graduate, lives a life intertwined with several other characters, each carrying their own emotional baggage. Romantic, practical, and philosophical themes enable Soseki to explore the very meaning of life.

Published in 1917, "Light and Dark" is unlike any of Natsume Soseki's previous works and unique in Japanese fiction of the period. What distinguishes the novel as "modern" is its remarkable representation of interiority. The protagonists, Tsuda Yoshio, thirty, and his wife O-Nobu, twenty-three, exhibit a gratifying complexity that qualifies them as some of the earliest examples of three-dimensional characters in Japanese fiction.

O-Nobu is quick-witted and cunning, a snob and narcissist no less than her husband, passionate, arrogant, spoiled, insecure, naive — yet, above all, gallant. Under Soseki's scrutiny, she emerges as a flesh-and-blood heroine with a palpable reality, dueling with her husband, his troublemaking friend, Kobayashi, and her sister-in-law, O-Hid?. Tsuda undertakes his own battles with Kobayashi, O-Hid? and the manipulative Madam Yoshikawa, his boss's wife. These exchanges explode into moments of intense jealousy, rancor, and recrimination that will surprise English-speaking readers who expect indirectness, delicacy, and reticence in Japanese relations. Echoing the work of Jane Austen and Henry James, Soseki's novel achieves maximal drama with minimal action and symbolizes a tectonic shift in literary form.
