And in later works such as \"Death Register\", \"The Life of a Stupid Man\", and \"Spinning Gears\", Akutagawa drew from his own life to devastating effect, revealing his intense melancholy and terror of madness in exquisitely moving impressionistic stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPublished: in UK in 2009\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Penguin Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 320\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN 13: 9780140449709\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN 10: 0140449701\u003cbr\u003e\nEdition: TRA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Haruki Murakami (INT), Jay Rubin (TRN)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32780358254695,"sku":"","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/0140449701.jpg?v=1601543325","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/rashomon-and-seventeen-other-stories","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
