Beskrivelse
The poignant and fascinating story of a young man who is caught between the breakup of the traditions of a northern Japanese aristocratic family and the impact of Western ideas.
WilliamDam.dk's beskrivelse
My life has been filled with shame. I can't even fathom what it's like to live as a human being. In Osamu Dazai's "No Longer Human," the protagonist paints a picture of himself as a failure, living a life that appears normal, yet feeling utterly disconnected from humanity.
His journey to find harmony with the world begins in his early years, continues through high school—where he adopts the role of a "clown" to hide his sense of alienation—and culminates in a botched suicide attempt in adulthood. With a stark lack of sentimentality, he chronicles life's casual cruelties alongside fleeting moments of human connection and kindness. Still among Japan's top ten bestsellers, "No Longer Human" remains a significant and unforgettable modern classic.
