Spring Miscellany and London Essays

En savoir plus sur le livre

Spring Miscellany is a series of twenty-five personal vignettes (referred to as shohin "little items") that are clearlyautobiographical, and reveal Natsume Soseki's kaleidoscopic view of his private world-and his interest in authentic, unadorned self-expression. The stories range from episodes in his youth to his adult musings. Author Biography: Natsume Soseki(1867-1916), novelist and scholar of English literature, is widely considered the foremost novelist of the Meiji period (1868-1914). Among his works, I Am a Cat and Master Darling are especially well-known in Japan.
