About This Novel

"Hell Change" contains a total of seventeen short stories and short stories by the Japanese literary giant Akutagawa Ryunosuke. Among them, "Hell Change" and "The Nose" are representative, starting from a unique narrative perspective and narrative structure, they grimly observed the Japanese social psychology of that time where "others are hell". This abnormal individual psychology gradually evolved into a habitual social psychology, which is thought-provoking. In addition, works represented by "Hell Transformation" express the life tragedy of a lonely person who is "art for art's sake". To achieve the ideal of "art supremacy" through self-destruction, behind this heavy price is the painful roar of a lonely soul. All in all, Akutagawa's novels are rich in subject matter and diverse in form. They are good at looking at the past and the present. They are especially good at deconstructing stories and lashing out at human nature from the perspective of Zen philosophy. It is truly a masterpiece, profound and grim.

Recommended by a friend, I think it's worth watching.

I don't understand why someone who is obviously a great writer, who is so good at psychologically portraying characters, portraying atmosphere, rendering environment, but refuses to let go of himself. Stop and rest when you are tired, put on more clothes when you are cold, eat when you are hungry, listen to the doctor when you are sick, hug yourself when you are lonely, such a simple truth, but you don't understand it. Should I say you are a genius or a fool? Maybe you got a glimpse of the secret--

Those who don't understand the beauty in ugliness are superficial painters

lonely hell

Nothing can create lasting interest. When you can't find new interests by going around and around, you can actually turn your old hobbies into a habit.

My favorite Akutagawa books

After reading the first short story, Akutagawa's ability to describe the scene of hell so well proves his literary talent.

Hell Transformation Ryunosuke Akutagawa

The screen painted by Yoshihide is hell. People all live in hell. As the leader of the hell world, Horikawa plays the savior. Yoshihide paints the truth, so he is regarded as an ugly person. Arrogance is the attitude that a person who sees the world should have. Yoshihide's daughter is Horikawa's target, which is a change that Yoshihide did not expect. In the pursuit of reality, Yoshihide had to finish the hell transformation and then died in hell. The above is my own opinion, which is relatively superficial and one-sided. It would be best if it helps you.

Listening to hell changing over and over while drawing a good show

In fact, I have been creating a kind of psychological suggestion through short stories to achieve the effect of layers of fear. My neck felt a little cold after I turned off the lights at night, so I went to sleep!
