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.

With its ultimate truth and beauty, it faces the complexity and fragility of life.

Ten years ago, an anonymous man sent three notebooks to a small bar in Tokyo. In the note, the man revealed the quagmire and karma deep in his heart to readers who may not exist - "I have been said to be a happy person since I was a child, but my mood is like hell..." "I use the straw of comedy to maintain the relationship with human beings. This is a desperate struggle. , Service dripping with cold sweat..."

"Disqualified" is Osamu Dazai's most outstanding work, and it is also a soul-salvation work that has influenced tens of thousands of young people. In this work, Osamu Dazai describes the life of Oba Yozo, a very tragic "marginal man" in history. From adolescence to middle age, he became increasingly decadent in order to escape from real life, completely isolating himself from the world, and finally embarked on the road of self-destruction.
