Publisher's Synopsis

Exotics and Retrospectives is a collection of essays written by Lafcadio Hearn, a writer and journalist who spent much of his life in Japan. The book is divided into two sections: Exotics and Retrospectives. Exotics features essays about Hearn's experiences in Japan, including his observations of Japanese culture, customs, and traditions. Retrospectives consists of essays about Hearn's travels and experiences in other parts of the world, including the United States, Europe, and the Caribbean. Throughout the book, Hearn's writing is marked by his keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of the places and people he encounters. The essays are written in a lyrical, poetic style, and offer a unique perspective on the cultures and societies he writes about. Exotics and Retrospectives is a fascinating and insightful collection of essays that provides a glimpse into the life and work of one of the most important writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
