主人公である「自分」は人と違う感覚を持っており、それゆえに他人とまともに会話が出来ない。周囲の人々に対する恐怖を道化を演じることでごまかしてきた。それにより、尊敬される、ということなるが、今度は、道化が見破られるのではないかという恐怖を感じるようになる…。そして道化は「或るひとりの全知全能の者に見破られる」という事件が起きる。「人間、失格。もはや、自分は、完全に、人間で無くなりました」というところまで葉蔵の人生は流れていく…。この作品は主人公である葉蔵の手記という形で構成されています。主人公の語る過去には太宰自身の人生を彷彿とさせるところもあり、『人間失格』は、太宰の自伝的な小説であるとみなされています。太宰治の魂の告白をオーディオブックでお楽しみください! ※本作品は発表時の未熟な時代背景から、今日の社会では一般的でなく、不適切と思われる表現が含まれている箇所がございます。しかし作品のオリジナル性を最大限に尊重し、なるべく当時のまま忠実に再現することを優先いたしました。(C)2008青空文庫
