Published by New Directions Publishing, this durable edition ranks #45 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction and boasts a 4.7-star rating from over 17,000 readers, making it a must-read classic that resonates deeply with modern audiences. ## Description The poignant and fascinating story of a young man who is caught between the breakup of the traditions of a northern Japanese aristocratic family and the impact of Western ideas. Portraying himself as a failure, the protagonist of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human narrates a seemingly normal life even while he feels himself incapable of understanding human beings. Oba Yozo's attempts to reconcile himself to the world around him begin in early childhood, continue through high school, where he becomes a "clown" to mask his alienation, and eventually lead to a failed suicide attempt as an adult. Without sentimentality, he records the casual cruelties of life and its fleeting moments of human connection and tenderness. Review: Depressing But Engaging - It's a small book, not taking much time to read, but it trades lack of time for its impact size. Boy, this one'll stick for a minute. It's ambiguous in spots to make you think, it's interesting and oh man is it depressing at times. Not so much sad, but more-so just... it's not so fun. However, it is a good read, and I think it's a worthwhile one for some alternative perspective on things. Review: New favorite author! - This is a good book. I am researching about borderline personality disorder and this a good book for learning about it. Osamu dazai is good at talking philosophically without making it too boring or hard to understand. It was a short book but it was worth reading. A quick, depressing read ## Features - New Directions Publishing Corporation - It is durable and long lasting - It ensures you get the best usage for a longer period ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,967 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #28 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #91 in Classic Literature & Fiction #221 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 17,978 Reviews | ## Images ![No Longer Human - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41alKvN9GwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Depressing But Engaging *by J***S on April 18, 2026* It's a small book, not taking much time to read, but it trades lack of time for its impact size.

Got this recommended to me by a friend and I can say I really relate to a lot of paragraphs inside the book. If you’re not in too much of a depressive state I would strongly recommend, because the book itself is very depressing, definitely gave me an alternative look at life. ## Frequently Bought Together - No Longer Human - The Setting Sun (New Directions Book) - Crime and Punishment (Vintage Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/11352144-no-longer-human](https://www.desertcart.co/products/11352144-no-longer-human) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
