¡Shuju No Kotoba Seiho No Hito(Shincho Bunko)
¡Akutagawa Ryunosuke / Cho
Description
[Machine Translation] Sleep is more pleasant than death. It must be at least easier. Using his keen mind and expressive powers inexhaustibly, he ridicules the hypocrisy and deception that abound in the world. Aphorisms ("The Language of Confucius") vividly convey the skeptical look and pessimistic spirit of a genius obsessed with death. He compares his own life to that of the saintly Christ, and expresses his sadness and pain through empathy ("Man of the West"). This is the sum total of Akutagawa's literature written just before his suicide.
