He has a wife suffering from a nervous disorder, and eventually has an affair with a housekeeper. However, after his wife's death, he becomes engaged to the daughter of an acquaintance, and is sued by the housekeeper for breach of promise. This is the debut work of the genius writer who died young at the age of 39, and it won the first Bungei Prize. A monumental work of post-war literature! “My Heart Is Not Stone” Kawade Bunko First Edition *Slightly scratched and stained. "I," a survivor of the student mobilization and an elite engineer, leads the labor union of a local city company and is trying to create a regional federation. Meanwhile, despite being a family man with a wife and children, he continues a fruitless love affair. As the movement intensifies and the woman becomes pregnant, "the will to dangerous ruin revives"—a monumental work of Takahashi's literature that deeply questions the possibilities of ambition in the form of "I"'s reminiscences, during the high economic growth period of 50 years ago and the "age of politics"!
