|  | Hojoki by David Jenkins, Kamo N. Chomei, Masaru Muro, Michael Hofmann, Yasuhiko Moriguchi
The single great work of literary witness in medieval Japan, Hojoki is a short social chronicle prompted by a series of calamities that overtook old Kyoto. By building a rude home in the forest and eliminating desire, Chomei believed he would be spared the anguish that had befallen the townspeople. Yet at the end we find the author consumed with self-doubt, questioning his own sanity and integrity of his purpose. His voice reaches out from the distant past and speaks directly to our hearts, surprisingly modern and intensely human. AUTHOR: David Jenkins, Kamo N. Chomei, Masaru Muro, Michael Hofmann, Yasuhiko Moriguchi
