Kwaidan Příběhy a studie o podivných věcech

Jan Švankmajer's surreal collages add to the atmosphere of Japanese ghost stories and legends in Lafcadio Hearn's new Czech translation by Petr Holý.
Lafcadio Hearn's book Kwaidan brings readers a collection of Japanese ghost stories and legends that have become an immortal part of world literature. In Petr Holý's new Czech translation, these mysterious tales are brought to life again, this time with illustrations by Jan Švankmajer. Švankmajer's surreal collages perfectly complement the atmosphere of the stories, which take the reader into the world of Japanese ghosts, phantoms and demons. The book is published on the occasion of Jan Švankmajer's ninetieth birthday.
