    Chita

    Een herinnering aan Last Island

    Het is 1856 en een verwoestende orkaan heeft het eiland Last Island, nabij New Orleans, volledig weggevaagd. In de nasleep van de storm redt de visser Feliu Viosca een kind. Zijn vrouw Carmen wordt al tijden geplaagd door dromen waarin hun overleden dochter, Conchita, terugkeert – en haar droom lijkt even waarheid te worden. Ze dopen het kind Chita. Ze leren haar zwemmen, laten haar kennismaken met hun geloof, en met alles wat je moet weten over het leven aan de kust. Ze weten dat haar moeder dood is, maar hoe zit het met haar vader, die op de lijst van vermisten stond? Lafcadio Hearn baseerde Chita op historische feiten, en publiceerde het oorspronkelijk als feuilleton in Harper’s New Monthly Magazine in 1888. Met zijn zintuiglijke beschrijvingen van de natuur en het hardvochtige leven van de lokale bevolking is Chita een klimaat- roman avant la lettre, die toont hoe de mens overgeleverd is aan de schoonheid én de wreedheid van de natuur.

    Some Japanese Ghosts

    After a peculiarly gothic childhood in Ireland and tumultuous two decades in the United States, Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) travelled to Japan as a journalist and never returned. There he married into a samurai family, lectured at universities throughout the country, and wrote widely about Japanese society and culture.

    Japanese Ghost Stories

    The improbable life story of Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) included a peculiarly gothic childhood in Ireland during which he was successively abandoned by his mother, his father and his guardian; two decades in the United States, where he worked as a journalist and was sacked for marrying a former slave; and a long period in Japan, where he married a Japanese woman and wrote about Japanese society and aesthetics for a Western readership. His ghost stories, which were drawn from Japanese folklore and influenced by Buddhist beliefs, appeared in collections throughout the 1890s and 1900s. He is a much celebrated figure in Japan.
