Exotics and Retrospectives is a collection of essays and short stories written by Lafcadio Hearn, a Greek-Irish author who lived in Japan and became known for his writings on Japanese culture and folklore. The book is divided into two parts: Exotics, which features essays on Japanese customs, legends, and superstitions, and Retrospectives, which includes Hearn’s personal reflections on his travels and experiences in other parts of the world, such as the Caribbean and New Orleans. The stories in the collection range from ghostly tales to personal anecdotes, and offer a glimpse into Hearn’s unique perspective as a Westerner living in Japan. The book is considered a classic in the genre of travel writing and has been praised for its vivid descriptions and insightful observations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
