The Words of a Dwarf [Chinese]

By 芥川龍之介 and Ryūnosuke Akutagawa

This book is a collection of aphorisms that express Akutagawa's views on life, morality, art, and politics, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of Akutagawa's thought process. Akutagawa's writing is elegant, precise, and powerful. He specializes in using his cold writing to sharply analyze human nature and speak of the illusions and destructions of life: "In order to be happy in life, we must suffer from the trivialities of everyday life. In order to be happy in life, we must suffer from the trivialities of everyday life, and only through these trivialities must we realize the pain of falling into hell, and only then will we be able to reveal the glory of humanity. Akutagawa's sharp observations and reflections on life are profoundly demonstrated, and the unspeakable absurdity of human nature is fully realized, striking at the true nature of good and evil in the human heart. Life and death are important. Impermanence is swift. The smartest way to deal with the world is to live in contempt of society's causes, while at the same time living in complete harmony with them.
