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.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionTopic: Classic FictionRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
