Zusammenfassung:"Born in the ethnically Ukrainian village of Obukhovka (then part of the Russian Empire) in 1890, Eroshenko was blinded at the age of four by measles. After receiving an education at the Moscow School for the Blind and the Royal Normal College for the Blind, in London, where he studied Esperanto and music, Eroshenko travelled to Japan, China, Myanmar, and India, working at times as a musician, writer, teacher, and masseur. In Japan, he befriended a variety of left-wing artistic figures and activists, who taught him Japanese and encouraged him to write fairy tales. Although Eroshenko was expelled from Japan in 1921 for his anarchist and socialist connections, his tales attracted the attention of Chinese modernist Lu Xun, who famously translated them and welcomed the young author to his home in Beijing. This volume consists of 18 fairytales written in Japan and China and brief appendix with some semi-autobiographical pieces. Eroshenko's work should enter the public domain in 2022"--
