Disqualified from the World
About This Novel
This book contains two important works of Osamu Dazai in his later period of creation - "Disqualification in the World" and "The Setting Sun". In these two works, Osamu Dazai focuses on expressing the love, trust and freedom of the inner world between human beings, and analyzes the true side of people hidden under their morality, which is thought-provoking. "Disqualified" is Osamu Dazai's most outstanding work, and it is also a soul-salvation work that has influenced tens of thousands of young people. In this work, Osamu Dazai describes the life of Oba Yozo, a very tragic "marginal man" in history. From adolescence to middle age, he became increasingly decadent in order to escape from real life, completely isolating himself from the world, and finally embarked on the road of self-destruction. "Setting Sun" uses a female monologue writing technique to tell the story of the protagonist Kazuko's efforts to break down the barriers of identity and finally usher in a new life when the aristocratic class is declining.

When "I" was a child, I saw the subway in a picture book. "I" always thought that it was designed and built because the fun of riding a car underground is much higher than that on the ground. I never thought that it was built for actual needs.
"I" was born in the northeastern countryside, and I am not considered well-informed. The first time I saw a train was when I was a little older. At that time, "I" climbed up and down the overpass, thinking that it was just to make the train station as interesting as a foreign amusement park. Climbing up and down like this was very special.
"I" have been in poor health since I was a child and am often sick, so I spend most of my time in bed. When lying on the bed, "I" think these beddings are the most boring decoration. But it was only when I was in my twenties that I realized how practical these things were.
