  Rezumat:  A unique cultural perspective on the Orient is offered by “Lafcadio Hearn''''s Japan: An Anthology of His Writings” a book which has been translated and published in Romanian in 2010. With a preface by Donald Richie, the book reveals an outlook on Japan at the turn of the 19th century which remains fresh and attractive as a result of Japan’s consistency in upholding spirituality, superstitions and traditional values. The world pictured emanates mysticism, emotion and a type of sensibility specific only to the people Lafcadio Hearn had been sent to analyze in response to an increased avidity for knowledge of the exotic. This anthology is a tribute to an effort to document and record expanding over a period of 14 years and embodying diverse aspects of Japanese rituals and society, unusual people, millennia old traditions and fantastic supersti¬tions. The work also aims to trace the differences in style and tone adopted by the author faced with clashing systems of thought and representation.
