    Brief biography and excerpts from his works.  
    http://www.kalin.lm.com/akut.html
    
    Extractions: Ryunosuke Akutagawa was born in 1892 in Toyko, whose spirit and whose traditions he evokes with the magic of Baudelaire's Paris or Kafka's Prague. His mother died insane when he was a child. His father, toward whom he felt a great resentment, was a failure who gave him up to relatives for adoption. A brilliant student of literature at Tokyo Imperial University, he had already published his first stories before graduating in 1916. Married two years later, he fathered three sons and taught English to support his family. Later he traveled to China and Russia. In 1915, he published his arresting psychological novella Rashomon , which was to gain international recognition and eventually become a hugely successful film by Kurosawa. After a period of severe depression, the increasingly unstable Akutagawa took his own life with an overdose of pills in 1927, at age thirty five. His suicide letter, A Note to a Certain Old Friend , is contained below. His nearly ten volumes of literary essays, short stories, and novellas are a masterful reinterpretation of Asian tradition and legend, marked by a profound infusion of Western thought and literary technique.

    Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Akutagawa Ryunosuke (1892-1927) Short-story writer, poet, and essayist, one of the first Japanese modernists translated into English. Akutagawa wrote no full-length novel. He was a stylistic perfectionist, who often favored macabre themes. His short story 'Rashomon' inspired Akira Kurosawa 's classic film from 1950. In 1935, the writer's friend Kikuchi Kan established the Akutagawa Prize, which is generally considered among the most prestigious Japanese literary awards for aspiring writers. "He [Akutagawa] was a devotee of the literati tastes which had been handed down from Edo times; from this tradition came his taste in clothes, disdain for boorishness, a certain respect for punctilio and, more important, his wide knowledge of Chinese and Japanese literature and delicate sensitivity to language." (Shuichi Kato in A History of Japanese Literature , vol. 3, 1983) Akutagawa Ryonosuke was born in Tokyo into a family which had lived for generations in the shitamachi Shin Shicho While still at the university, Akutagawa started to write short stories. In this he was encouraged by the novelist Natsume Soseki, who was especially impressed by 'Rashomon' (or 'The Rasho Gate', 1915), published in a university magazine. The story, set in 12th-century Kyoto, depicts a ruined city, where a former servant tries to survive and must choose between immorality and virtue.

    Extractions: Akutagawa es considerado parte del grupo de intelectuales y estetas contrarios al naturalismo, al humanismo socializante de Shirakaba y a la literatura proletria. Tanizaki Junichiro (1886-1965), Sato Haruo (1892-1964) y Kubota Mantaro (1889-1963) acompañan a Akutagawa en este grupo. La etiqueta de "intelectual esteta" no le hace justicia al maestro pues su camino es marginal y, frecuentemente, incomprendido, como mostraremos en esta reseña. impulso vital como motor del escritor y sus personajes. En el temprano ensayo "Literature : an Introduction", Akutagawa define la literatura como un arte que usa el lenguaje como medio y que transmite vida La palabra japonesa que usa para designar la vida es seimei , no seikatsu seimei . Este concepto de seimei Veamos el memorable caso del cuento Yabu no Naka, traducido al inglés como In a Grove, y al español como En el bosque. En él es notoria, por un lado, la influencia occidental pues utiliza las mismas técnicas que Robert Browning emplea en "The Ring in a Book" (1868); por otro, como casi toda la obra del escritor, se basa en un episodio del Kinjaku Monogatari, del siglo XII. Los cuentos Yabu no Naka (En el bosque) y Rashomon (Nombre de un antiguo puente en la vieja capital de Kioto) fueron la fuente para el argumento de la famosa película Rashomon de Akira Kurosawa, ganadora del Festival Internacional de Cine en Venecia, 1951.

A prolific writer of naturalistic "slice of life" short fiction, he produced 150 stories and novellas that address human dilemmas and struggles of conscience tinged with gothic darkness. Contributing to his mystique was his rapid mental decline and suicide at age the age of 35. A Tokyo native, Akutagawa was born in the historic, multicultural Irifunecho district on March 1, 1892, to Fuku Niihara and Binzo Shinhara, a dairy merchant. He was named Niihara Ryunosuke in infancy to honor the family of his mother, the scion of an ancient samurai clan. After her mental deterioration when he was nine months old, he passed from the custody of his father, who was unable to care for him. His maternal uncle, Michiaki Akutagawa, adopted him, giving him the surname Akutagawa. Shaken by what he perceived to be parental abandonment, he grew.....

(1950), which in turn was adapted for the American film, The Outrage (1964), directed by Martin Ritt, starring Paul Newman, Claire Bloom, Edward G. Robinson and William, the Kirk, Shatner. Akutagawa (1892-1927), more so than many of his contemporaries was heavily influenced by the styles and fictional techniques of Western writers like Poe, Baudelair, Strindberg, Dostoevsky, and Flaubert. He was, by all accounts, a perfectionist in his style and had a great affinity, like the French Symbolists he admired, for descriptions of physical sensations. He was part of a growing literary movement that centered on the magazine Shin Shicho (New Current of Thought) and was concerned with undermining the influence of the romanticists and aesthetes who were the rage in the early decades of 20th century Japanese fiction. With his contemporaries, Kikuchi Kan and Yamamoto Yuzo, he shared the mission of replacing emotion with reason. Their philosophy simply stated was that the writer should not be overly influenced by either beauty or idealism. It was a recognition of the actuality of the human condition, and the tale in question was to be recorded by the author with a detachment that disallowed emotional aggrandizement or the injection of unwarranted pathos.
