Exotics and Retrospectives by Lafcadio Hearn

Originally published in 1898, this collection of the finest essays by Hearn, with good examples of his work demonstrating the evolution of his style and subject matter, shows him to be a personable and entertaining traveler. Hearn describes the virtue of Japanese sense and people, such as the beauty of sounds made by insects.
