個々の単語は、なじみのないものもあり、英米の過去の文化をよく知らないので、

but his cynical themes, though I may not agree with them entirely, are fantastically placed in all his tales. Rashomon, the actual story the book is named after is usually overlooked because the fantastic work In a Grove is what took its name. In a Grove is an awesome story which shows how four different people view the exact same thing, but Rashomon itself is also good. The story is an ironic type, showing that no matter how low people can go in society, worst exists. Saddening but true themes are manifested in this book, which makes it a much needed book to have if you like excellent stories.
