What is Sanshiro (Penguin Classics) about?
One of Soseki's most beloved works of fiction, the novel depicts the 23-year-old Sanshiro leaving the sleepy countryside for the first time in his life to experience the constantly moving 'real world' of Tokyo, its women & university. In the subtle tension between our appreciation of Soseki's lively humour & our awareness of Sanshiro's doomed innocence, the novel comes to life. Sanshiro is also penetrating social & cultural commentary. °°° Natsume Sōseki (1867–1916) was the foremost Japanese novelist of the Meiji period, known for his books Kokoro, Botchan, & I Am a Cat. He is also the author of Theory of Literature & Other Critical Writings.JAY RUBIN has translated Natsume Sōseki’s novel The Miner, Akutagawa Ryūnosoke’s Rashōmon & Seventeen Other Stories (Penguin, 2006), and Haruki Murakami’s Norwegian Wood, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, After the Quake, and After Dark.
