The Face (Highlights of Japanese Classic Mystery Book 1) Kindle Edition


Japanese literature is known for its unique storytelling and atmosphere, which is especially pronounced in classic literature that tends to have strong ties to traditional culture and beliefs. “Highlights of Japanese Classic Mystery” showcases notable mystery stories that have been selected to appeal to western readers.

In “The Face”, a woman has been plagued since childhood by a disturbingly real nightmare that seems somehow connected to a famous figure. In the midst of her search for solace, she at last discovers the shocking truth behind the face of her dreams.

This story is listed in both English, as well as parallel Japanese/English for Japanese learners. A few translator notes give helpful context about the story, the author, and other cultural connections.
