| Summary | "Fables et légendes du Japon" by Claudius Ferrand is a collection of traditional Japanese tales written in the late 19th century. The book features various stories that explore themes of morality, nature, and the supernatural, often incorporating elements of folklore and myth. Among its characters, the collection introduces figures like Ourashima Taro, a noble fisherman, who embarks on a fantastical journey after rescuing a tortoise. The opening of the work begins with the story of Ourashima Taro, who saves a tortoise from a group of boys tormenting it. Grateful for his kindness, the tortoise transforms and takes Taro to the undersea palace of Otohimé, the sea goddess. Taro experiences seven days of lavish hospitality, oblivious to the passage of time. Ultimately, he leaves with a mysterious box from the goddess, but when he realizes that centuries have passed since his departure and he is now alone, he succumbs to despair and opens the box, leading to his tragic demise. This introductory tale sets the tone for the moral and thought-provoking nature of the subsequent stories in the collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
