Lafcadio Hearn and Leo Tolstoy: Why Do They See Japan So Differently and What Does It Suggest?
View through CrossRef
Comparisons between Lafcadio Hearn and L.N. Tolstoy was not taken seriously. However, the two contemporaries had a great interest in each other, and moreover, there was something in common at the basis of their worldviews. L.N. Tolstoy’s interest in Hern was caused by the shock of the Tsushima naval battle. L.N. Tolstoy carefully read Herne’s “Japan: An Attempt at Interpretation” (1904) to unravel the cause of Russia’s defeat and determine the essence of the Japanese people. However, although L.N. Tolstoy praised this book highly, his image of Japan was in some respects the exact opposite of Herne’s.
