Autorenporträt
Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) was one of the first writers to introduce Western readers to Japanese culture and literature. A native of Ireland, he became a longtime resident of the United States. Finally, fascinated by Japanese culture, this writer, translator, and teacher became a Japanese citizen and a professor of English literature at the Imperial University of Tokyo.
