In Japan, do Western color names such as “red, blue, yellow, violet, and green” correspond to similar hues there? We paid extra attention to this scientific topic on both readability and accuracy.” It is easily expected that this topic will draw readers’ attention. Sanae: “Is Moonlight Blue?” was the most difficult topic to translate. This topic explains a new and sensational fact. What concepts in Color and Light were the most difficult to translate? Given that Western and Japanese traditions are so different, I wondered what was involved in translating the ideas in my book for Japanese readers.” The translator of Color and Light, Sanae Hiraya, very generously offered to answer some questions.

Numerous biographical facts find their way into the novel. As Conrad writes of the novel in his 1917 Introduction, " Heart of Darkness. Forster, who disparaged the very ambiguities that other critics found so interesting, and the African novelist Chinua Achebe, who derided the novel and Conrad as examples of European racism.Ĭonrad voyaged to the Congo in 1890, when he sailed a steamboat up the Congo River just as Marlow does in the novel.

It was eventually published as a whole in 1902, as the third work in a volume Conrad titled Youth. Heart of Darkness originally appeared serially in Blackwood's Magazine in 1899. No Longer Human has been adapted as a graphic novel by horror manga artist Junji Ito, made into an anime film, Human Lost, directed by Fuminori Kizaki and is the name of an ability in the manga series Bungo Stray Dogs used by a character named after Dazai.
