No Longer Human (New Directions Book.)

Hardcover for Rs. 237 🤌✨. Mine was perfect. Just perfect.

Good quality book

The story was good but there are many printing words mistakes. The words are not properly printed which is a lil bummer but over all the story is very mature and understandable.

The only thing is, recycled papers are used and there were printing mistakes all over the book,even though I understood it,i gave 5 stars for the writing,not the quality

Amazing book, but the quality is beyond terrible, lots of missing letters, words. Typesetting errors all over, makes the book almost unreadable. The book itself is something that every one should read at least once, I would recommend buying it from another vendor/publisher.

All 3 stars for the good quality and price the book was not that good as said by others broked what I expected from it you can still read if you want but I didn't like it

Not sure if anyone should read this book or not. I can understand the author when he talks about others. But I loose him when he started talking about his own internal world. I can't just relate to it. Looks like it's very different in my case. Maybe a particular kind of childhood is responsible for such a vulnerable internal position.

The book was quite not good in looks but the content is worth, just introduction of this book's author makes more curious about it

I recommend reading it

No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai is a masterpiece that delves into the depths of the human psyche with an unparalleled intensity. This English edition of the classic Japanese novel brilliantly captures the essence of the original work, allowing readers worldwide to experience its profound impact. From the moment I began reading, I was utterly captivated by the protagonist's raw and unfiltered narrative. The story follows Yozo Oba, a young man struggling to find his place in a world that seems alien to him. Dazai's masterful storytelling takes us on a haunting journey through Oba's life, revealing his internal battles with identity, belonging, and the ever-elusive concept of humanity. The depth of character development in No Longer Human is nothing short of remarkable. Oba's experiences, though often tragic and disheartening, paint a vivid picture of the human condition. Dazai's exploration of Oba's thoughts and emotions is so vivid that it almost feels as though the pages themselves are breathing with life. One of the standout features of this edition is the translator's skill in retaining the essence of Dazai's prose. The nuances of emotion, the subtle shifts in tone – all are meticulously preserved, allowing English-speaking readers to fully immerse themselves in the narrative without losing the essence of the original text. The themes addressed in No Longer Human are as relevant today as they were when the book was first published. The struggle for authenticity, the façades people create to fit in, and the isolation that often accompanies these efforts – these themes resonate deeply with anyone who has questioned their place in society. Reading No Longer Human is not a mere act of consuming literature; it's a visceral experience that leaves an indelible mark on your soul. This is a book that invites introspection, that encourages readers to confront their own vulnerabilities and insecurities. It's a reminder that beneath our facades, we are all human, with our fears and desires. In conclusion, the English edition of No Longer Human is an absolute triumph. Osamu Dazai's unflinching portrayal of the human psyche, coupled with the translator's exceptional work, makes this a must-read for anyone seeking a profound literary journey. Prepare to be moved, unsettled, and ultimately enlightened by this extraordinary work.
