Legend of the Master

Nakajima, Atsushi

<p>What is unhappiness? What does it mean to be unhappy? And can settling into it, breathing it in, enduring its weight upon us until we finally pass through it, actually be the answer to knowing its polar opposite? For Sakaguchi Ango, the answer to this last question would be an emphatic yes. To the first two, it would seem he never gave up the personal quest to find out.\nIn this story, published in 1947 not long before his death, Sakaguchi confronts us no matter where we are on our journey in life to pause and think a bit more about where we're headed. Are we on the right path? Should we correct course? Do we think we're happy when we're really far from it?\n"Wind, Light, and the Twenty-Year-Old Me is the third in the Masters of Story series from Maplopo. This Sakaguchi Ango edition includes the full aftertalk from translators and publishers, Doc and Reiko Kane, as well as a biographical timeline of Sakaguchi Ango from his birth in 1906 to his death in 1955.</p>
