.post p { margin:0 0 .75em; line-height:2em; text-indent:1em; } Teito Monogatari: The Tale of the Imperial Capital Author: Hiroshi Aramata MASTER POST Teito Monogatari (帝都物語) is the the debut novel of Japanese author Hiroshi Aramata. It began circulation in the literary magazine Monthly King Novel in 1983 and was published in 10 volumes over the course of 1985–1987. The novel is a romanticized retelling of the 20th-century history of Tokyo from an occultist perspective, and can be regarded as an epic work of historical fiction, dark fantasy, and science fiction. If you've read any of my Toriumi Jinzō translations before, this is that, dialed up to 11. Real literary figures rub shoulders with fictional characters in a vividly realized, mostly historically accurate setting, plus magic. And maybe explosions. Has the distinction of having the protagonist also be the antagonist, at least according to traditional story roles. Volume 1 PDF - TBD ePub - TBD
