What is Ten Nights Dreaming: And the Cat's Grave about?

A murderer discovers his true nature from a talking infant, a samurai is frustrated in his attempts to meditate, & a dying man bestows his hat on a friend in these surrealistic short stories. The dream-like, open-ended tales by the father of Japanese modernist literature offer thought-provoking reflections on fear, death, & loneliness. Their settings range from the Meiji period of the late nineteenth & early twentieth century, the era in which the tales were written, to the prehistoric Age of the Gods; the twelfth-century Kamakura period, in which the samurai class emerged; & the remote future.A scholar of British literature, author Natsume Sōseki (1867–1916) was also a composer of haiku, kanshi, & fairy tales. The stories of Ten Nights Dreaming, which were originally published as a newspaper serial, constitute milestones of Japanese fantasy. Like Sōseki's other writings, they have had a profound effect on readers, writers, & filmmakers. This edition features an expert new English translation by Matt Treyvaud, who has translated the story "The Cat's Grave" for this work as well.Sōseki Natsume (1867-1916) is widely considered the foremost novelist of the Meiji period (1868-1914).
