Cover von Lafcadio Hearn: Kokoro (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

Kokoro, meaning ‚heart, ‚ ’spirit, ‚ and “way of being” is a fitting title for this 1896 collection, for these fifteen essays focus on the interior life of Japan and its people. Hearn’s insights into Japan’s soul are unmatched by any Westerner, and his portraits of individual Japanese are as profound as his long essays on the civilization.
