| Book Description | No Longer Human is not only Osamu Dazai's greatest work, but also the second best-selling novel in Japan to date and a semi-autobiographical work by the author, first published in 1948. It is a profound, poignant, real, and very human novel, a pure depiction of the life, thoughts, feelings, and human inner selves of a young man named Oba Yuzo, who considered himself a social outcast since childhood, unable to understand or communicate with others, so he adopted clowning as a method to cover up his fears and psychological crises until he reached adulthood, became addicted to alcohol, and lived a deadly indifference that led him to attempt suicide twice and cause suffering to himself and those around him. Although this novel tells the story of a man who rejects society and is rejected by it until he loses his humanity, we find it an incredibly human work, even if it is dark and painful, because it tears away the veil of imaginations with which we deceive ourselves so as not to acknowledge the corruption that lies deep within reality and society. This book, which will take you on a journey into the secrets of the human soul and its fluctuations, despite its cruelty and darkness, is a required reading for everyone, as it will introduce us and help us understand and feel what a person goes through when he feels depressed, lonely and socially isolated. No Longer Human is a novel for all humans who have a heart that feels, a mind that thinks, and are characterized by compassion and empathy. |
