Description
At first glance, Osamu Dazai's Cugara may seem "just" like a kind and friendly travelogue. A young man returns to his homeland from Tokyo after ten years, guiding readers through the landscape of the northernmost part of Honshu Island.
However, as is typical of Dazai's works, deeper themes are hidden here as well: playing roles in a dysfunctional family, feelings of uprootedness, duality, and overall life despair.
Together with the master of words and experiences, we embark on another long-lasting journey - not only through the landscape but also into the deep inner self of a person, where all the fragilities and contradictions of the human soul are reflected.
