The Crab Cannery Ship

I've finished reading "The Crab Cannery Ship (蟹工船)" written by Takiji Kobayashi. The story is about crab fishing in the early 1900s. The working environment was terribly bad and this story focuses on conflicts between the workforces and their commanders in a ship. This is famous for proletarian literature. Furthermore, this is base on reality. I can't believe the events in the story happened in the past.
The author was arrested as a communist and finally killed by the secret police. He is so celebrated that we Japanese learn him in history classes.
By the way, I misunderstood this title as "a crab laser" when I was a kid because both cannery ships and laser are pronounced "kousen" in Japanse.

The Crab Cannery Ship

I've finished reading "The Crab Cannery Ship (蟹工船)" written by Takiji Kobayashi.

The story is about crab fishing in the early 1900s.

The working environment was terribly bade, and thise story focuses on conflicts between the workforces and their commanders i on a ship.

"the workforce and their commander on a ship" if the story is only one about one ship's situation.
"the workforces and commanders of multiple ships" if the story is about multiple ships.

ThisIt is a famous fwork of proletarian literature.

Furthermore, ithis is based on reality.

I might expand this to have more details like: "Furthermore, it is based on the reality of labor conditions in the early 20th century." or "Furthermore, it is based on autobiographical accounts of working conditions of the time."

I can't believe the events like those in the story happened in the past.

The original sentence makes it seem like the novel is factual is in "the events happened," but since (I think) it is a fictional novel "events like those in the story happened" makes more sense.

The author was arrested asfor being a communist and fineventually killed by the secret police.

He is so celebrated that we Japanese learn about him in history classes.

I might write this instead as: "He is so celebrated that we learn about him in Japanese history classes."

By the way, I misunderstood this title as "a crab laser" when I was a kid because both cannery ships and laser are pronounced "kousen" in Japanse.
