The Pain of Birth
About This Novel
"The Troubles of Birth" is a collection of short stories and short stories by Takero Arishima, a representative writer of the Shirakaba School in Japan. "The Troubles of Birth" successfully created the image of a young artist from a fisherman's family, reflecting the contradiction between art and life, ideal and reality. The work brilliantly depicts the magnificent scene of Hokkaido fishermen fighting against nature. The author used the scene to convey his emotions, expressing his strong indignation at the social environment at that time and his deep sympathy for the suffering life and mental outlook of the lower class people. It is a classic work selected as a Chinese language textbook for Japanese middle schools. This collection also includes works such as "Grass Under a Stone", which describes revenge against his wife, "The French Girl", which praises the innocent soul, and "The Legend of the West", which interprets sacred beliefs. These works include the Bible's thoughts on human love and Tolstoy's humanitarian thoughts, as well as Kropotkin's anarchist thoughts and Whitman's thoughts about praising freedom. They are full of Japanese Shirakaba writers' emphasis on self-emphasis and personality development.
