Synopsis "El ocaso (in Spanish)"

Tras la II Guerra mundial la inestabilidad y la angustia se apoderan de las nuevas generaciones japonesas. Un universo de tradiciones y castas militares se desmorona. Esta novela narra la historia de una familia aristócrata al tiempo que cada página va explorando una región de la moderna conciencia nipona. Una madre prisionera del pasado, un recién llegado del frente adicto a la droga, una joven en busca de amor, de explicaciones y de nuevos caminos son los protagonistas abatidos y aislados que se tocan casi tangencialmente.

Mundu itxi bat, gainbeheran, irteerarik eta egunsentirik ez duela agerian duena da El Ocaso liburuan erretratatzen dena, eguzkiaren eta handitasunezko ametsen erorketa, eguzkia sortzen den inperioan. II. Gerrate mundialaren ostean ezegonkortasuna eta larritasuna Japoniako belaunaldi berrien jabe egin zen. Ohiturazko eta militar familien unibertsoa suntsitu. Eleberri hau familia aristokratiko baten nahasmena azaltzeaz batera, Japoniarren kontzientzi modernoa aztertuz joaten da. Iraganaren preso den ama bat, frontetik etorri berri den drogazale eta taberna-zulo zale bat, eta maitasun bila, azalpen bila eta bide berrien bila dabilen neska gazte bat dira abaildurik eta isolaturik agertzen diren protagonistak. Bakarkako eta komunikazio gabeko babeslekuak dira galdutako paradisu honetara gerturatzen gaituztenak. Leku bat, non, sartaldeko eguzkiak pertsonaiak eta egoerak inguratu eta ahitzen dituen, liburua argitaratu ostean, egilearen bizitzarekin ere amaitu arte.

The decline. A closed world, in ruins, with neither a solution nor a dawn at sight is what is shown in The decline, the fall of the sun and great dreams in the formerly Empire of the rising sun. After the 2nd World War the instability and anguish took possession of the new Japanese generations. A universe of traditions and military lineages declined. This novel narrates the story of a confused aristocratic family and meanwhile each page explores a region of the modern Japanese consciousness. The depressed and lonely characters who touch each other tangentially are the following: A mother prisoner of the past, a man who has just arrived from the front and is an addict to drugs and the slums and a young woman who is looking for love, explanations and new ways. Individual shelters and a lot of isolation are the clues which bring us nearer to the lost paradise, a place where the setting sun besieges and exhausts characters and circumstances even to the extreme of ending with his author´s own life after the publication of this book.

(Pseudonym of Tsushima Shuji; Kanagi, 1909 - Tokyo, 1948) Japanese writer. Born from the disillusionment prevalent in his country after the end of World War II, Osamu Dazai's last novels expressed the feelings of a generation that had witnessed the collapse of their traditional values: The Setting Sun (1947), perhaps his most famous work, focuses on the decline of the Japanese nobility after the defeat in the war, while his last book, No Longer Human (1948), narrates in an autobiographical tone the frustration over the national debacle. Known for his ironic and somber wit and the brilliant fantasy of his novels and stories, his obsession with suicide and his constant search for a deeper truth would make him a cult figure among the young readers of his country.
