This is a copy of Ken Hirano's "Between Politics and Literature," published by Miraisha in November 1956 (first edition), with its original slipcase. The slipcase shows some yellowing, but the main body of the book has little yellowing, no stains, no writing, and no library stamps. The images appear slightly cloudy because the book is wrapped in paraffin paper. Please consider purchasing this book, understanding that it is a 67-year-old used book. ※ The following works by Ken Hirano are also available: Showa Bungaku Shiron (Private Essays on Showa Literature) Showa Bungaku Oboegaki (Notes on Showa Literature) Geijutsu to Jisseikatsu (Art and Real Life) Shiga Naoya to Sono Jidai (Shiga Naoya and His Era) Sakka Ron (Writers' Theories)
