Lily reviewed 杜子春 by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa
Review of '杜子春' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
大抵、鞭で打たれた主人公について本を読まないが、面白かった。時々お金持ちで時々仙人の杜子春は、他の生き方を探す。釈迦牟尼と関する話かどうか思っていた。外人のために簡約された版を読んだが、もっと上手になれる後、本物の杜子春を読みたい。
Generally I don't read books about a protagonist getting hit with a whip, but it was interesting. The sometimes rich, sometimes a hermit Toshishun searches for a different way of living. I wondered if the story had a relationship to the historical Buddha. I read the version that is simplified for foreigners, but when I improve I'd like to read the real Toshishun.
