This is an automatically translated description

The first translation into Ukrainian by one of the brightest representatives of the genre of ego fiction, the classic of Japanese literature Tayama Katai.

The collection opens with the once scandalous story "Bed" about the love of a teacher for a young student. In it, for the first time, a Japanese writer allowed himself to describe sexual experiences and the most intimate facets of the inner world of a character almost identical to the author himself.

The eight stories and essays by Tayama Katai, also included in the collection, testify to the versatility of his talent, genre searches, interest in characters atypical for traditional Japanese literature and constant attention to psychology. Growing out of traditional Japanese literature and European realism and naturalism, Tayama Katai's work has become an original and unique literary phenomenon. The Ukrainian reader now has the opportunity to see for himself.
