THE SETTING SUN - OSAMU DAZAI TASCHENBUCH

Set in the early postwar years  it probes the destructive effects of war and the transition
from a feudal Japan to an industrial society. Ozamu Dazai died  a suicide  in 1948. But the
influence of his book 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.
