Natsume S¿seki

    Natsume Sōseki fut un romancier japonais qui a profondément façonné la littérature moderne de son pays. Érudit de la littérature britannique et auteur de haïkus, de kanshi et de contes de fées, son œuvre explore des interrogations philosophiques profondes et dissèque la psyché humaine avec maestria. Ses écrits, marqués par une perspicacité aiguë et une approche stylistique singulière, abordent fréquemment des thèmes tels que l'identité, l'aliénation et la quête de sens dans le monde contemporain. Sōseki est largement considéré comme l'un des plus grands écrivains japonais, son influence résonnant à travers les générations d'auteurs qui lui ont succédé.

      "Rich in understanding and insight."—The New YorkerWhat is love, and what is friendship? What is the extent of our responsibility to ourselves and to others? Kokoro, signifying "the heart of things," examines these age-old questions in terms of the modern world.A trilogy of stories that explores the very essence of loneliness, Kokoro opens with "Sensei and I," in which the narrator recounts his relationship with an intellectual who dwells in isolation but maintains a sophisticated worldview. "My Parents and I" brings the reader into the narrator's family circle, and "Sensei and His Testament" features the eponymous character's explanation of how he came to live a life of solitude.Natsume Soseki (1867–1916), perhaps the greatest novelist of the Meiji period, remains one of Japan's most widely read authors. He wrote this novel in 1914, at the peak of his career, and it remains an excellent introduction to modern Japanese literature.

      Like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, BOTCHAN, a hilarious tale about a young man's rebellion against "the system" in a country school, is a classic. Among both young and old in Japan, it has enjoyed a timeless popularity, making it, in the words of Donald Keene, "probably the most widely read novel in modern Japan."
