📖 About the Book
"Kaidan", originally compiled and retold by Lafcadio Hearn in 1904, is a celebrated collection of traditional Japanese ghost stories that delve deep into the eerie and the supernatural. This Bengali edition presents the complete translation, enriched with detailed annotations and commentary to bring out the historical and cultural nuances of each tale.
Most of the stories are drawn from classical Japanese sources such as Yesso-Kidan, Bukyo Hyaku Monogatari, Kokon Chomonshū, Tema Sudare, and Hyaku Monogatari, offering a haunting glimpse into Japan’s folkloric imagination.
This edition is further elevated by a curated selection of timeless illustrations by legendary Japanese artists, including Hokusai, making it not only a literary delight but also a visual treasure.
Whether you are a fan of ghost tales, a student of world folklore, or an admirer of Japanese art and culture, Kaidan is an essential addition to your bookshelf.
