Classic writing from Japan, India, China and beyond
This category gathers classic works from Asia and Oceania. At the moment, the range is quite small, but it already shows a clear mix of fiction, philosophy, religious texts, and older literary voices. Stock may change.
You can expect a strong Japanese presence here. Current books include writers such as Yasunari Kawabata, Yukio Mishima, Osamu Dazai, Junichiro Tanizaki, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa, though the exact authors in stock may change over time. There are also works connected with Chinese thought, Indian literature, Tibetan spiritual tradition, Persian poetry, and an Australian classic.
This makes the section fairly broad. Some books are novels and short stories, while others are texts of philosophy, religion, or strategy. So this category is less narrowly literary than English Classics, and more focused on this region than the wider Classics section.
If you are looking for classics from a different part of the world, African Classics covers another literary tradition altogether. Here, the focus stays on older and established works linked to Asia and Oceania, even if the shelf is still modest for now.
