Disqualified from the World

This book includes Dazai Osamu's most representative novels "Disqualification in the World" and "Setting Sun" as well as literary essays "This I Hear". "Disqualified in the World" is Osamu Dazai's last completed work, and it is the pyramid of Japanese "private novels". In the form of a confession, it explores the cowardice deep in the heart and explores the qualifications of a human being. It goes straight to the soul and is inescapable. "Setting Sun" writes about the pain and redemption of Japan's declining aristocracy after the war. "Setting Sun Clan" has become synonymous with declining people, and Osamu Dazai's memorial hall was also named "Setting Sun Hall". "This I Hear" is Osamu Dazai's response to the criticism of him by other writers in the literary world. It includes criticism of some "old writers" in the literary world at that time, as well as a defense for himself. It also states his views and attitude towards writing. It can also be regarded as Osamu Dazai's "Declaration of Independence", which shocked the literary world when it was published.
