(★)(Bilingual Stories in Japanese and English)(Posee un Audio Disc.)(´Japanese Stories for Language Learners´ takes you on a cultural and linguistic journey to Japan through five fascinating Japanese stories. The first two are very famous traditional folktales : ´Urashima Taro´ and ´Yuki Onna (The Snow Woman)´, followed by three short stories drawn from 20th century modern Japanese literature : ´Kumo no Ito (The Spider´s Thread)´ by Akutagawa Ryuunosuke (1892-1927), ´Oborekaketa Kyoodai (The Siblings Who Almost Drowned)´ by Arishima Takeo (1878-1923). and ´Serohiki no Gooshu (Gauche the Cellist)´ by Miyazawa Kenji (1896-1933). The latter stories are unabridged and unedited except for the addition of furigana pronunciation aids above the kanji. ／Reading these stories in the original Japanese will help readers to understand the emotions of the characters, across time and space. The extensive vocabulary, grammar, cultural, and translation notes enable the reader to better appreciate the subtlety and beauty of the Japanese language in the stories. Audio recordings by native Japanese speakers help readers improve their pronunciation and inflection. ◆Anne McNulty is a senior at Stony Brook University.
