This edition presents a selection of Tanizaki's stories and short stories from his early period. They vary in form and subject matter, but they share many common threads—the author's marked penchant for the unusual and paradoxical, the presence of an intricate plot, and a unique type of hero, consumed by passions and tormented by internal contradictions. And, of course, Tanizaki's characteristic sly writing style, in which the main points are communicated not directly but subtly, as if by accident. He might have told readers through one of his characters: "I have always tried to tell you the truth, only not directly, but in a roundabout way, and if you didn't understand my hints, you have only yourself to blame!"

All the works included in this collection are published in Russian for the first time, translated by T. I. Redko-Dobrovolskaya.
