Meet the timeless classic, Osamu Dazai's 'No Longer Human.' The Timeless project by WEINOVEL presents classic masterpieces that resonate deeply with readers across eras, reintroduced with a modern sensibility.

The work I am introducing today is the pinnacle of modern Japanese literature and a representative work of Osamu Dazai, who has countless fans worldwide, 'No Longer Human (人間失格).'

"I have lived a life full of shame." This powerful opening line is a key confession that runs through the life of the protagonist, Oba Yozo. 'No Longer Human' brutally depicts the inner turmoil and downfall of a man who cannot communicate sincerely with others and lives behind a mask. The autobiographical elements of the author Osamu Dazai make this work feel even more genuine and painful.

Why 'No Longer Human' now? We, too, living in a complex modern society, sometimes hide ourselves, conscious of others' gazes. The fundamental loneliness and sense of alienation that Oba Yozo feels is not just a story from over 80 years ago; it resonates with a corner of all our hearts today.

- Psychological realism: It unflinchingly reveals the hypocrisy and fears that lie at the bottom of humanity.

- Artistic sensibility: Osamu Dazai's unique delicate and aesthetic writing style stands out.

- Enjoy at WEINOVEL: You can currently appreciate this classic masterpiece in the 'Timeless' category of WEINOVEL.
