Description:
Experience the timeless works of Osamu Dazai in English, transcending generations. "I have led a life filled with shame"—the protagonist Yozo Ooba could only connect with others by hiding his true self and playing the role of a fool. Eventually moving to Tokyo, he descends into a life of dissolution, drowning himself in alcohol, drugs, and women. In recent years, Dazai's works have become increasingly popular overseas, and his semi-autobiographical novel "No Longer Human" in particular has deeply resonated with young readers worldwide, with its profound depictions of loneliness and alienation profoundly touching hearts and earning overwhelming support for "changing one's outlook on life." We now present this essential work of Dazai literature in English translation.
