HEARN LAFCADIO (1850-1904)

Né de mère grecque et de père irlandais, Lafcadio Hearn était prédestiné à une vie cosmopolite. D’une école jésuite du Yorkshire, il passa à une école française; en Amérique, il fut petit coursier et colporteur à Cincinnati. Le journalisme lui offrit la voie ouvrant sur ses ambitions littéraires. Il se fait remarquer d’emblée par son style, ainsi que par ses traductions de nouvelles de Théophile Gautier sous le titre de One of Cleopatra’s Nights (1882), puis par Gombo Zhébes , recueil de proverbes créoles français (1885). Son séjour à Saint-Pierre de la Martinique est l’origine d’un livre de souvenirs, Deux Ans aux Antilles françaises (Two Years in the French West Indies , 1890). Il se fixe alors au Japon, épouse la fille d’un samouraï et prend la nationalité japonaise sous le nom de Koizumi Yakumo. Professeur d’anglais à l’université de T 拏ky 拏 (1896-1903), il se fait l’interprète, très apprécié en Angleterre et en Amérique, des divers aspects de son pays d’adoption: vieilles coutumes, superstitions, flore, faune, paysages, dans des livres au style attrayant, tels que Aperçus sur le Japon inconnu (Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan , 1894) et surtout, son œuvre la plus ambitieuse: Un essai d’interprétation (An Attempt at an Interpretation , 1904).
