A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Basho (1644–1694)—the most revered poet of Japanese literature—is best known in the West as the author of Narrow Road to the Interior, a travel diary of his journey through northern Japan. Basho elevated the haiku to an art form of utter simplicity and intense spiritual beauty. His travel diaries of linked prose and haiku created a new genre of writing that inspired generations of Japanese poets.

Revue de presse

“Lucid and engaging, this translation, a gift of careful attention, does not separate poetry from spiritual practice. Basho becomes our guide on the way of insight. Such is the magic for a fine translation.”—Margaret Gibson, Tricycle

“Sam Hamill achieves a kind of luminosity of language that I find unparalleled in other translations.”—Burton Watson
