About the Author
Natsume Soseki (1867-1916) remains one of the most widely read authors in Japan over a century after his death. Born in Tokyo and educated first at the Imperial University and then in England, he spent many years lecturing to Japanese students on English literature. His novels and essays are known for examining the conflicts between old and new, and between East and West.
Reviews
"Soseki is the representative modern Japanese novelist, a figure of truly national stature." --Haruki Murakami "The greatest Japanese novelist of the modern period." --Sunday Telegraph "A writer to be judged by the highest standards. His works create, after the fashion of all great writers, a new and completely individual reality." --Spectator "Vastly refreshing ... Soseki doesn't shrink from seeking and finding exquisite pearls of beauty." --Guardian
