Excerpt from Lafcadio HearnWhen Death has set his seal on an eminent man's career, there is a not unnatural curiosity to know something of his life, as revealed by himself, particularly in letters to, intimate friends. "All biography ought, as much as possible, to be autobiography," says Stevenson, and of all autobiographical material, letters are the most satisfactory. Generally written on the impulse of the moment, with no idea of subsequent publication, they come, as it were, like butter fresh from the churning with the impress of the mind of the writer stamped distinctly upon them. One letter of George Sand's written to Flaubert, or one of Goethe's to Frau von Stein, or his friend Stilling, is worth pages of embellished reminiscences.The circumstances surrounding Lafcadio Hearn's life and work impart a particular interest and charm to his correspondence. He was, as he himself imagined, unfitted by personal defect from being looked upon with favour in general society. This idea, combined with innate sensitive shyness, caused him, especially towards the latter years of his life, to become more or less of a recluse, and induced him to seek an outlet in intellectual commune with literary comrades on paper. Hence the wonderful series of letters, edited by Miss Elizabeth Bisland (Mrs. Wetmore), to Krehbiel, Ellwood Hendrik, and Chamberlain. Those to Professor Chamberlain, written during the most productive literary period of his life, from the vantage ground, as it were, of many years of intellectual work and experience, are particularly interesting, giving a unique and illuminating revelation of a cultured and passionately enthusiastic nature.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The first Japanese who was a naturalized citizen. By K. Salmon Lafcadio, such an interesting person. Forty years after Japan opened themselves up to the West, Lafcadio, the product of an Irishman and a Greek WOman, and finding no place on earth where he belonged, came to rest in Japan, eventually marrying a Japanese Samurai woman and creating a family with her. Naturalized by the government on the occasion of his marriage and teaching for many years as well as writing many books of Japanese folktales, this biography is incredibly interesting.
3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A Genius of Pen and Ink! By Gary Lafcadio Hearn was a genius of pen and ink and did all of this with several handicaps. This kindle biography of him explains his life and how he has affected so many lives even to this day. I read some of the quotes over and over and it really helped me to understand his path in life. He ended up in Japan and this country has had a powerful hook on me also as I lived there for over a year and can relate to a lot of what he writes about even though it was over a hundred years sooner than me. This is one of the best biographies that I have read.
