Дисквалифициран като човек е историята на Йозо, който от малък решава, че е по-лесно да играеш ролята на шут, да разсмиваш хората, да не им отказваш нищо, за да те оставят да обитаваш някъде по периферията на живота им и да не те изхвърлят съвсем. Поради тази причина познатите му никога не успяват да го вземат несериозно. Баща му отказва да му даде обич, "приятелите" му се възползват от него финансово и всякак, и в резултат от всичко това, той става жесток към жените, които го обичат. А те са били толкова много. Както самият той казва, "надушват самотата в теб и се залепват". Но дори когато не ги е ... |

Разгърнат в ранните следвоенни години, този мощен роман, обхващащ проблемите на една нация в социална и морална криза, изследва разрушителните последици от войната и прехода от феодална Япония към едно индустриално общество. Въпреки че Осаму Дазай се самоубива през 1948 година, влиянието на този роман, често считан за негов шедьовър, е толкова силно, че терминът хора на залязващото слънце (тоест отмиращата аристокрация) се превръща в неразделна част от японския език. Героите в Залязващото слънце са жертви на преходен за морала период. Героинята на Дазай, Казуко, младата аристократка със силна воля, която умишлено ... |

"Добре дошли в Тъгата. Население - един. Истинският фарс е начинът, по който обвинявам тъмното минало на жена си за проблемите си, докато се люшкам между радост към скръб. Истинският фарс е в начина, по който оправям яката си, докато влизам в заложната къща, вярвайки, че таи изиграна увереност, арогантност дори, ще прикрие истината за пълното падение, за това колко дълбоко съм се сгромолясал. Всички ние сме клоуни. Ако искаш да видиш фарс, погледни се в огледалото. Човек, смазан от реалността, играе шоуто на издръжливостта и силата. Ако това е нещо, което не можеш да проумееш, скъпи читателю, значи аз и ти никога ... |

An utterly scandalous but entirely truthful look at history under the influence. Did you know that Alexander the Great was a sloppy drunk, William Shakespeare was a stoner, and George Washington drank a spoonful of opium every night to staunch the pain from his fake teeth?

In Human History on Drugs, historian Sam Kelly introduces us to the history we weren't taught in school, offering up irreverent ... |

The modern man of the XXI-the century chooses his preferred beliefs and values in a pluralistic world, where conflicting values co-exist and are subject to the critique of reason.

Том 2-ри от шесттомното издание "Събрани съчинения от Фридрих Ницше" ... Фридрих Ницше е един от световните мислители, без които не можем да си представим модерната цивилизация. Неговият дух владее не само XIX и XX век, но очевидно ще оплодотворява интелектуалните търсения и на XXI век. Фундаменталното шесттомно събрание на съчиненията на великия философ е под общата редакция и съставителство на Исак Паси, който твърди, че "от самото начало на XX век името на Фридрих Ницше започва да се превръща в идол, в кумир за рационалисти и ирационалисти, за моралисти и аморалисти, за национал-социалисти и анархисти, ... |
