This book collects important works by Ishikawa Takuboku, including the two collections of poems, *A Handful of Sand* and *A Sad Toy*, the poetry collection *Whistle and Flute*, and the political commentary *The Current State of a Closed Era*. The two collections of poems are considered among the greatest poetry collections of the Meiji era. Their works broke through traditional thematic limitations, using modern colloquial language to sing of the delicate emotions of everyday life—vivid, novel, precise, and sincere—and have resonated with countless confused young people for over a century since their publication. While *Whistle and Flute* is not as famous as his collection of tanka poems, its passion and concern for reality "fully embodies Takuboku's aspirations for socialism and his artistic achievements; it is a widely acclaimed masterpiece that opened a new chapter in modern Japanese poetry" (Iwaki's words). *The Current State of a Closed Era*, on the surface a literary commentary, actually uses subtle language to express a strong critique of Japan's authoritarian politics, its annexation of Korea, and the "Great Treason Incident," showcasing the young poet's simple sense of justice. Even today, it remains thought-provoking.
本书收录了石川啄木的重要作品，包括《一握砂》《悲伤的玩具》两部歌集和诗集《哨子与口笛》以及政治评论文《时代闭塞之现状》。两部歌集被认为名列明治时代最伟大的诗歌集，作品冲破了传统的题材限制，用现代口语歌咏日常生活中的细腻情感，生动、新颖、精准而真诚，发表至今百年间引发了无数迷茫青年的内心共鸣。《哨子与口笛》虽然不如短歌集出名，但因其激情和对现实的关怀，“充分体现了啄木对社会主义的憧憬和艺术上的成就，是一部广受瞩目的佳作，打开了日本现代诗的新生面。”（岩城之德语）《时代闭塞之现状》表面上看是一篇文学评论，实际上是用隐晦的语言表达了对当时日本的强权政治、吞并朝鲜以及“大逆事件”的强烈批判，展现出青年诗人朴素的正义感，至今读来仍觉得发人深省。
