About This Novel
"Setting Sun" is set in the chaotic and depressed Japanese society after World War II and describes the decline of an aristocratic family. The mother and her daughter Kazuko, who were born in the aristocracy, were unable to survive financially, so they moved to Izu to live. The mother and daughter depended on each other and lived quietly. The return of his younger brother Naoji, who was soon drafted into the army, broke the originally peaceful life... The alcoholic and drug-addled younger brother Naoji overprinted the author's early years, and his sister Kazuko, who was determined to risk everything for "love and revolution", highlighted the author's depressed spiritual world during the war... And the mother vaguely entrusted the author's aristocratic feelings and aesthetic ideals, like a ray of sunset passing through the miserable wind and rain, which is also the symbol or incarnation of the "setting sun". Translated by the famous translator Lin Shaohua.
