Due to the busy season, it's been a while since the last video. This is the first video in the "Lives of Great Authors" series in a while. This time, I'm going to talk about Mori Ogai, as requested by several people. Mori Ogai, a great Meiji era author on par with Natsume Soseki, was an army surgeon before he became a writer, and even rose to the highest rank of Surgeon General. In this video, we take a deep look at Ogai as a military surgeon and as a family man, introducing various anecdotes (famous works, interactions with famous people who lived in the same era, etc.). Let's think together about the life of Mori Ogai, who lived through the turbulent Meiji era. ■Table of Contents0:00 Introduction03:08 A child prodigy at the end of the Edo period07:40 Moving to Tokyo10:14 On the path to medicine17:55 Joining the army19:46 Studying in Germany31:14 Tragic love and the birth of a literary giant38:29 The Cat's House and the Kancho-ro Tower43:26 The biggest mistake47:48 Demotion to Kokura53:34 The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law war56:44 The ripe age1:03:13 The death of a close friend1:06:40 Later years1:15:22 After the main story■Click here for the lives of other literary giants↓ • Lives of literary giants #MoriOgai#MoriOgai#Genius #Literary commentary #Literature giant
