Features: This book successfully portrays a radical democratic revolutionary fighter—Yoko Rintaro. Rintaro, after exposing his origins from the (Eta) class, was stripped of his teaching profession. When he stepped out of the normal school gates, he was met with "not a single drop of sympathetic tears shed for him." Thus, he was mercilessly abandoned by society.
