Product Details
- 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 prices—including shipping costs and customs duties—are clear from the very beginning, with no hidden fees. I highly recommend using their services. My experience with the "Ubuy" website was excellent. I purchased a PRS USA Swamp Ash Special guitar, and it arrived in just 11 days. The shipping service was fantastic, and the product arrived in perfect condition. What I particularly appreciated about the site is that the prices—including shipping costs and customs duties—are clear from the very beginning, with no hidden fees. I highly recommend using their services.”
