About this eBook

Author Lu, Xun, 1881-1936
Title 狂人日記
Alternate Title Kuang Ren Ri Ji
Summary "狂人日記" by Xun Lu is a psychological novel written in the early 20th century. This profound work reflects on the themes of paranoia, societal norms, and the nature of humanity, exploring the author's critique of feudal values and the oppressive societal structures of the time. It provides an insightful commentary on the human condition and the madness that can stem from living within a corrupt system. The story unfolds through the perspective of a man who believes he is being hunted by a society that has collectively turned cannibalistic. As he navigates his everyday surroundings, he is consumed by paranoia, convinced that those around him—his family, neighbors, and friends—are plotting to eat him. Through this intense psychological exploration, he questions the morality of those who accept and perpetuate outdated traditions, revealing a tortured mind that perceives the world as a threat. The narrative serves as an allegory for personal and societal cannibalism, exposing the darker side of human nature and leaving readers to ponder the implications of their own complicity in society's horrors.
