Kokoro Hints And Echoes of Japanese Inner Life

"Four years ago a strong thief entered some house by night in the Street of the Wrestlers, terrified and bound the inmates, and carried away a number of valuable things. Tracked skilfully by the police, he was captured within twenty-four hours, even before he could dispose of his plunder. But as he was being taken to the police station he burst his bonds, snatched the sword of his captor, killed him, and escaped. Nothing more was heard of him until last week..."Hearn, Lafcadio is the author of 'Kokoro Hints And Echoes of Japanese Inner Life', published 2006 under ISBN 9781594624674 and ISBN 1594624674.
