No Longer Human
Mine has been a life of much shame. I can't even guess myself what it must be to live the life of a human being. Portraying himself as a failure, the protagonist of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human narrates a seemingly normal life even while he feels himself incapable of understanding human beings. His attempts to reconcile himself to the world around him begin in early childhood, continue through high school, where he becomes a "clown" to mask his alienation, and eventually lead to a failed suicide attempt as an adult. Without sentimentality, he records the casual cruelties of life and its fleeting moments of human connection and tenderness. Still one of the ten bestselling books in Japan, No Longer Human is an important and unforgettable modern classic: "The struggle of the individual to fit into a normalizing society remains just as relevant today as it was at the time of writing." (The Japan Times)

The Setting Sun
Set in the early postwar years, it probes the destructive effects of war and the transition from a feudal Japan to an industrial society. Ozamu Dazai died, a suicide, in 1948. But the influence of his book has made "people of the setting sun" a permanent part of the Japanese language, and his heroine, Kazuko, a young aristocrat who deliberately abandons her class, a symbol of the anomie which pervades so much of the modern world.

Justice with a Smile
A Novel"Readers familiar with Dazai's celebrated fiction of despair, such as No Longer Human, might be surprised by the relative hopefulness of this droll portrait of a young Kabuki actor […] Though he's pessimistic, he continues to persevere, and Day's plainspoken translation enhances the character's entertaining voice. This will give the author's fans much to ponder." —Publishers Weekly

Il fiore delle buffonerie
Le parole con le quali Dazai Osamu ci conduce in questa storia, scorrono quasi come un "piano sequenza" cinematografico, intrigante e diretto al cuore: un sanatorio in riva al mare, tre ragazzi di buona famiglia, di cui uno appena sopravvissuto a un tentato suicidio, la sua infermiera, insieme solo per quattro giorni che però bastano, in questo microcosmo, per fare emergere a poco a poco fallimenti, sogni, contraddizioni. Ognuno di questi quattro ventenni cerca di trovare se stesso e sfuggire all'opprimente conformismo della società in cui vivono. Nascondono la loro vulnerabilità fingendo di non prendere niente sul serio, come i clown, recitando in ogni momento una nuova buffoneria - pensano di proteggersi mettendosi la maschera del pagliaccio, che è troppo fragile, come un fiore in balia del vento. Ma nonostante i dubbi interiori, l'ipocrisia e il nichilismo, la giovinezza che sgorga prorompente dentro di loro fornisce la forza per non arrendersi mai. Dazai scrisse il racconto nel 1933, a ventiquattro anni, basandosi su alcuni eventi autobiografici, e lo pubblicò nel 1936 in una raccolta dal titolo Bannen (tradotto con "Gli anni finali"). Il libro riunisce una quindicina di racconti scritti dall'autore tra il 1932 e il 1935, anno in cui tentò per la seconda volta il suicidio, e rappresentano, quasi, il suo un testamento letterario. Dazai sopravvisse per dodici anni a questo suo "testamento", che non fu la fine bensì il punto di partenza della sua opera, divenuta nel frattempo una delle più importanti della letteratura giapponese moderna.

No Longer Human
Osamu Dazais No Longer Human ist ein Meisterwerk der japanischen Literatur und Kultbuch. Es wurde durch Verfilmungen und als Manga des berühmten Zeichners Junji Ito zum Millionenseller - und machte den Autor und seinen Protagonisten Yozo zum Idol. Yozo sehnt sich nach einem Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit und dem eigenen Platz in der Welt. Seit der Kindheit fühlt er sich außen vor, nur als Familienclown ist ihm Aufmerksamkeit sicher - und so wird er vom notorischen Possenreißer zum sarkastischen Intellektuellen. In einer feinsinnigen Mischung aus Ironie und Verletzlichkeit entblößt er seine Wünsche, Schwächen und Sehnsüchte. In je tiefere Verzweiflung er gerät, desto scharfsichtiger wird dabei sein Blick auf die menschliche Suche nach Bedeutung. Voller Witz und Sarkasmus durchleuchtet Osamu Dazai in No Longer Human die Fragilität der menschlichen Existenz und entfaltet erzählerisch die Wirkkraft eines widerständigen Denkens.

Early Light
Early Light offers three very different aspects of Osamu Dazai's genius: the title story relates his misadventures as a drinker and a family man in the terrible fire bombings of Tokyo at the end of WWII. Having lost their own home, he and his wife flee with a new baby boy and their little girl to relatives in Kofu, only to be bombed out anew. "Everything's gone," the father explains to his daughter: "Mr. Rabbit, our shoes, the Ogigari house, the Chino house, they all burned up," "Yeah, they all burned up," she said, still smiling."One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji," another autobiographical tale, is much more comic: Dazai finds himself unable to escape the famous views, the beauty once immortalized by Hokusai and now reduced to a cliche. In the end, young girls torment him by pressing him into taking their photo before the famous peak: "Goodbye," he hisses through his teeth, "Mount Fuji. Thanks for everything. Click."And the final story is "Villon's Wife," a small masterpiece, which relates the awakening to power of a drunkard's wife. She transforms herself into a woman not to be defeated by anything, not by her husband being a thief, a megalomaniacal writer, and a wastrel. Single-handedly, she saves the day by concluding that "There's nothing wrong with being a monster, is there? As long as we can stay alive."
