About This Novel
This set includes "Disqualification in the World", "Girl Disciple" and "Setting Sun". "Disqualification in the World": Disqualification in the world, that is, the loss of the qualifications to be a human being. The book consists of the author's preface, postscript, and three letters of the protagonist Oba Yezang. It describes the protagonist's continuous sinking from adolescence to middle age in order to escape reality. He experiences self-exile, alcoholism, suicide, and numbing himself with drugs, and finally moves towards the tragedy of self-destruction step by step. In the process of self-denial, she expresses her inner anguish and desire to be loved... "Girl Disciple": The heroine is sometimes happy and sometimes laments. She fantasizes that she has a pair of beautiful eyes and hopes to die as a beautiful girl before the age of 18. She cannot see the goal of life and believes that happiness will never come tomorrow. This is just a female student's random thoughts in one day. It has no profound meaning and no rigorous logic, but it is extremely true. In addition to the collection of Dazai Osamu's short story collection "Girl's Disciple", this book also selects 7 masterpieces including the short story masterpieces "Achan", "Beautiful Girl", "Goddess", "Ritsuko and Sadako", "Mother", "The Illusion on the Cliff", and "Women's Talk", which basically covers the complete picture of Dazai Osamu's "femininity" novels. "Setting Sun": a stage of decline, a past culture, a long-lost elegy of the passing years! It is enough to arouse deep trembling and nostalgia-like feelings in the readers' hearts, and even allow them to peer into the abyss of human nature! "Setting Sun" can be called the Japanese version of "The Cherry Orchard". It uses notes, letters and other forms to describe the desolate scene of a declining aristocratic family. The work shows the declining social status of the descendants of the nobles after the war and the dilemma of losing their glory. It can also be said to be Dazai's elegy to the declining nobles.
