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 No Longer Human is his masterpiece, though all his work is worthy. Dazai was an aristocratic tramp, a self described delinquent, yet he wrote with the forbearance of a fasting scribe.--Patti SmithDazai offers something permanent and beautiful. From the Back Cover This story tells 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. About the Author Osamu Dazai (1909-1948) was a 20th century Japanese novelist. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Country Of Origin | India | | Dimensions | 13.21 x 1.27 x 20.32 cm | | Edition | Revised ed. | | Generic Name | Books | | Importer | New Directions Publishing Corporation | | Isbn 10 | 0811204812 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0811204811 | | Item Weight | 216 g | | Language | English | | Packer | New Directions Publishing Corporation | | Print Length | 176 pages | | Publication Date | 1 February 1973 | | Publisher | New Directions Publishing Corporation | | Reading Age | Customer suggested age: 17 years and up | ## Images ![No Longer Human (New Directions Book.) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41alKvN9GwL.jpg) ![No Longer Human (New Directions Book.) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ThRTqW7WL.jpg) ![No Longer Human (New Directions Book.) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51dGZOtE7TL.jpg) ![No Longer Human (New Directions Book.) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41eZhkq6sOL.jpg) ![No Longer Human (New Directions Book.) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/514VxlQm9OL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good reading the breakdown of him *by on Reviewed in India 19 November 2025* The only thing is, recycled papers are used and there were printing mistakes all over the book,even though I understood it,i gave 5 stars for the writing,not the quality ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by on Reviewed in India 5 October 2024* No longer human is relatable because of the unfiltered way of expressing things even as gruesome aas it is. Dazai paints humanness without shying away and in a way no author has come close.Read about it and also Gifted to friends several times (my go to gift for bibliomaniacs)One friend got trau-matized by the sheer amount of depr ession and expression and so I trau-matized him again with " Elie Wiesel - Night" fair to say it's gonna ask him some time to recover after seeing the bareness of what humans are truly like.While one of my friends ended up returning the same energy by answering the Dazai's book with Albert Camus books 1. The Stranger (an even stranger book ) and 2. The myth of Sisyphus, truly a tandem to Dazai's No longer human.Truly a classic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Printing errors *by on Reviewed in India 31 May 2023* The story was good but there are many printing words mistakes. The words are not properly printed which is a lil bummer but over all the story is very mature and understandable. ## 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.be/products/92246511-no-longer-human-new-directions-book](https://www.desertcart.be/products/92246511-no-longer-human-new-directions-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
