Disqualified in the World (complete Works of Osamu Dazai)
About This Novel
Osamu Dazai's entire confession in the last 500 days of his life, including the goodbyes he never finished saying; an analysis of the nihility and despair of the post-war era, facing the abyss of human nature and the desire for survival; a book of the soul about degradation, struggle and redemption, seeing fragility, loneliness and the eternal longing for love and recognition. This book is a collection of works by the Japanese literary giant Dazai Osamu. It contains a total of 18 works. It is the last two years of Osamu Dazai's life that concentrated his brilliance. These include many representative works such as "The Unworthy of the World" and "Setting Sun", as well as the posthumous work "Goodbye". Together, these articles describe the decadent atmosphere of postwar Japanese society and the plight of individual spirits. Osamu Dazai used his trademark self-deprecating and desperate style to create a series of images of "marginal people" who were sunk in alcohol, drugs and emotions. They either struggle to survive in the decline of aristocratic families, or explore the meaning of existence in self-exile, or they wander painfully between family and morality. The lines are full of doubts about traditional morality, confusion about being a human being, and a deep desire for love and understanding. This collection of works is not only the core microcosm of Osamu Dazai's literary world, but also a mirror that reflects the loneliness and emptiness common to mankind. With its ultimate truth and beauty, it faces the complexity and fragility of life.
