The Setting Sun by Osamu Dazai
Set in post–World War II Japan, The Setting Sun follows the decline of an aristocratic family struggling to adapt to a rapidly changing society. Through the eyes of Kazuko, a disillusioned young woman, Osamu Dazai paints a haunting portrait of loss, identity, and the collapse of tradition. A poignant and powerful novel that captures the spirit of a nation in transition.
Now in a beautiful gift cloth edition, a masterpiece of postwar Japanese literature
This powerful novel of a nation in social and moral crisis was first published by New Directions in 1956. Set in the early postwar years, The Setting Sun probes the destructive effects of war and the transition from a feudal Japan to an industrial society. The influence of Osamu Dazai’s novel 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.
