Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Osamu Dazai is one of the most famous--and infamous--writers of 20th-century Japan. A Shameful Life (Ningen shikkaku) is his final published work and has become a bestselling classic for its depiction of the tortured struggle of a young man to survive in a world that he cannot comprehend.

This dark tale nevertheless conveys something authentic about the human heart and its inability to find its true bearing. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Japan's capital city of Kyoto was devastated by earthquake, storm, and fire in the late 12th century. Retreating from "this unkind world," the poet and Buddhist priest Kamo-no-Chomei left the capital for the forested mountains, where he eventually constructed his famous "ten-foot-square" hu…t. From this solitary vantage point Chomei produced Hojoki, an extraordinary literary work that describes all he has seen of human misery and his new life of simple chores, walks, and acts of kindness. Yet at the end he questions his own sanity and the integrity of his purpose. Has he perhaps grown too attached to his detachment? An extraordinary literary work from the 12th century, a meditation on nature and mortality. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
