New Dazai Osamu collection "The Student" arrives in Italy

A new collection of Dazai Osamu's short stories, "The Student," is released in Italy, offering insight into his controversial literary style. Dazai Osamu, a prominent figure of the Burai-ha literary movement, is known for his decadent and nihilistic themes, which contrasted with traditional Japanese values during his time. His works, often infused with a sense of ennui and existential despair, continue to resonate with readers, exploring themes of alienation and the struggle for identity.
