Not quite instant bestseller. Japanese author Takiji Kobayashi wrote The Crab Ship (described as the Japanese equivalent of the Ragged Trousered Philanthopists) in 1929. Since then it's sold a steady 5,000 a year. Now it's taken off, because, "Young people...see themselves and today's situation in the novel. " 79 years on it has just sold half a million copies. Unfortunately Takiji won't be counting his royalties. He was tortured to death by the secret police in 1933.




Milions of workers came out on strike in defence of their pensions. This was the biggest such action for decades. The fight goes on!
