内容説明・目次
内容説明
The literary writings of Mori Ogai (1862-1922), one of the giant figures of the Meiji period, have become increasingly well known to readers of English through a number of recent translations of his novels and short stories. Ogai was more than a writer of fiction, however. He has long been regarded in Japan as one of the most influential intellectual and artistic figures of his period, possessing a wide range of enthusiasms and concerns, many developed through his early European experiences. Not a Song Like Any Other attempts to reveal the full range of Ogai's creative endeavor, providing trenchant examples of his remarkable range, from dramatist and storyteller to poet and polemicist, all translated into English for the first time. The first of seven parts, ""The Author Himself,"" offers a variety of self portraits and other insights into Ogai's character through his essays - laconic, ironic, detached - written over the course of his career. ""Mori Ogai in Germany"" reveals his responses to living in Germany in the 1880s and seeing for the first time how his country was being interpreted from the outside. It includes his celebrated and spirited defense of his country, originally published in a German newspaper. ""Mori Ogai and the World of Politics"" relates his uneasy reactions to Japanese society at a later phase in his career. The fourth section, ""Mori Ogai and the Visual Arts,"" provides some of the first information available in English concerning his life-long interest in painting and other aspects of the visual arts in the Japan of his day. Ogai's theatrical experiments are briefly chronicled in Part 5, ""Mori Ogai and the Contemporary Japanese Theatre."" ""Four Unusual Stories"" offers new evidence of the range of the writer's interests and ambitions. The final section includes some of the first translations of Ogai's poetry available in English. Not a Song Like Any Other, which includes the work of twelve translators, brings a whole new breadth of knowledge concerning Ogai's role as a highly committed artist and intellectual in one of modern Japan's most dynamic periods.
