About This Novel
This book is a famous work by Osamu Dazai, and it is also an epistolary novel. "Skylark", a young man who went to a mountain health sanatorium due to tuberculosis, was terrified of his impending death. On the other hand, he was fighting the disease in the company of friends with distinctive personalities and backgrounds, striving to become a "new man." There, the sweet and sour relationship with the two vital nurses - Sister Zhu and Azheng, and the sudden grief caused by the death of his partner due to illness, all made him emotionally ups and downs. He continued to meticulously record these daily mental fluctuations in letters to close friends. However, "Skylark" has always maintained a positive worldview similar to Greek mythology - in the corner of Pandora's box, which spreads misfortune to the world, a small gemstone engraved with the word "Hope" was found. "Pandora's Box" is the sunny side of Osamu Dazai's writing.
