Disqualified from the World
About This Novel
Dazai Osamu's semi-autobiographical novel, a collection of his core masterpieces "Disqualification in the World" and "Setting Sun". An evergreen classic that has spanned more than half a century, its sales are countless, and it has been adapted into films and animations repeatedly. Yukio Mishima, Haruki Murakami, and Wong Kar-Wai are all inseparable from his works, and he is a genius who has profoundly influenced the literary and art world. The high-quality translation is carefully polished by a senior Japanese literature scholar, with detailed annotations and a long explanation. Ten years ago, an anonymous man sent three notebooks to a small bar in Tokyo. In the note, the man revealed the quagmire and karma deep in his heart to readers who may not exist - "I have been said to be a happy person since I was a child, but my mood is like hell..." "I use the straw of comedy to maintain the relationship with human beings. This is a desperate struggle. , Service dripping with cold sweat..." "Although I am kind and humble to everyone, I have no true feelings for friendship... All interactions just make me miserable." It expresses the doubts of a soul hurt by innocence and the sorrow of the world. "Is pure trust a sin?" In the same year that the work was published, Osamu Dazai committed suicide. This book also includes Osamu Dazai's representative "female body" novel "The Setting Sun", which uses his lover Shizuko Ohta as the heroine. It describes the setting sun of a declining aristocratic family and asks where the spiritual "nobles" will go in the end when etiquette and music collapse.

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" 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.
"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.
