About This Novel

"Maihime" is a collection of Mori Ogai's novels, including the "Maihime" trilogy, "Tower of Silence", the novella "Wild Geese", the spiritual autobiographical color "Delusion", "Fish Mystery", the masterpiece of historical novels "Takase Fune", "Cold Mountain Lost" and other thirteen short and medium-length masterpieces. It is accompanied by a 10,000-word introduction to present the creative career of a generation of literary giants in a three-dimensional way. In "Dancing Princess", Mori Ogai imagined a young elite with similar experiences to his own, and explored the possibility of realizing the modern self in this era. Influenced by modern Western free thought, the protagonist Toyotaro Ota realizes that the "right path" of hard work, study and excellence, and then officialdom is actually a passive life path that suppresses the self and buries the individual. He fell in love with a foreign dancer and escaped from the orbit of the system, but the West is not a paradise where his "true self" can be displayed. "The joy of pure love is far from enough to compensate for the huge sense of loss of having no livelihood and no future."

Napoleon once said: "Famous is nothing more than a grand noise. The bigger the noise, the farther it spreads, everything will disappear, only the noise will continue to exist and be spread among future generations." In fact, his noise is the noise of iron and blood, the sorrow of his wife, the tears of his parents, and the groan of human civilization.

Knowing the world is like a dream with nothing to seek, and a mind that has nothing to seek is calm and still. It is also like following a dream in a dream, achieving the merits of dreaming like sand in the river.
