Established by the leaders of the country's only successful slave revolt in the mid-19th century, Cross River still evokes the fierce rhythms of its founding.

In the war a great volume of poetry was written, produced and published in books, periodicals, newspapers or letters back to home. We often think of war as a necessity. We fight for a more just and better world. We often fail. But in our poets we gain a truth and a morality that shocks us, consoles us and holds our values to the light. In this volume we hear poems from the front, from home, from soldiers, from auxiliaries, from friend and from foe.

Das Dasein ästhetisch rechtfertigen – und sich dabei zuschauen. Oder sich eingestehen, dass man eigentlich gar nicht versteht, was in der Welt geschieht. Oder das Ganze herumdrehen: Nicht-Verstehen als ethische Grundlage eines Lebens betrachten. Wie wäre es mit einer Poesie der Gleichgültigkeit? Einer Haltung, die dennoch nichts unberührt lässt – wäre dies ein erster Schritt? Und wohin? Willi van Hengel hat einen Reigen seiner bisher erschienenen Texte komponiert.

В этот сборник вошли как принесшие Акутагаве мировую славу и автоматически ассоциирующиеся с его именем исторические рассказы и новеллы (включая легендарную "В чаще", послужившую основой для сценария бессмертного фильма "Расёмон" Куросавы), так и менее известные западному читателю, но почитающиеся на родине автора еще выше рассказы, действие которых происходит на фоне современной автору реальности Японии начала ХХ века, еще сохраняющей немало черт национального своеобразия, но жадно и стремительно "европеизирующейся".
