作者简介
GENZABURO YOSHINO was born in 1899 in Tokyo, Japan. After graduating from Tokyo Imperial University (now the University of Tokyo) with a degree in philosophy, he served two years in the army, and later took a job at the Library of Tokyo. The government arrested him for attending socialist meetings in 1931, and he was sentenced to prison for four years, experiences that helped develop his sense of pacifism. On his release, he was commissioned to edit a series of sixteen books for young readers, A Library for Young Japanese Nationals, and the initial concept behind How Do You Live? was the last of these. The resulting effort was first published in 1937, then again as a stand-alone novel after World War II, and quickly became a beloved children’s classic in Japan. Genzaburo died in 1981.
