全书透过鬼眼看人生,描划了一个个在黑暗中或孤独或寂寞的故事,深得日本文学之三昧。其间的故事大多带有浓厚的扶桑乡土气息,还有一部分则源于中国的古典小说,有的将日本山海的雄浑瑰丽形诸文字,有的把自然描写和神话传说糅于一体,试看此中多少篇章,摊开来竟是满目萧索,幽雅而凄迷。那种阴阳两界间的对话、逾越、互换,是那么精彩奇妙、奇诡可怖,令读者在神秘、幽玄中感慨世态炎凉,叹息人间的诸多无奈。
小泉八云搜集日本民间故事所创作的《怪谈》是日本灵异文学的代表作,是他在竭力领悟日本文化的精髓后,创作出的最著名的作品。该书是日本历史的间接体现,同时也承载着东方共有的文化美感。全书所呈现出的东西方文明交融的美学境界,具有极高的欣赏价值和认识价值。
Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Thing, often shortened to Kwaidan, is a book by Lafcadio Hearn that features several Japanese ghost stories and a brief non-fiction study on insects. Kwaidan is full of goblins and ghosts, snowwomen and treewomen, a kingdom of dead warriors, and a kingdom of ants where a man might spend a lifetime in only a few moments. "Kaidan" is Japanese for "ghost story".
