Description

太宰の名作『斜陽』英文漫画版。This is the story of Kazuko,a strong‐willed woman from an aristocratic family that has fallen into poverty since the war.The book follows Kazuko’s journey as she and her family struggle to adapt to the harsh new conditions of a Japan destroyed by American fire‐bombing.In addition to having to move from the city to the countryside,where she has to work in the fields to support her family,she has to deal with a divorce,the birth of a stillborn child,and the return of her drug‐addicted brother from the army.An inspiring portrait of one woman’s determination to survive in a society in the grip of a social and moral crisis,this classic will appeal to fans of Bungo Stray Dogs as well as to anyone fascinated by Japan.
