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 and university. In the subtle tension between our appreciation of Soseki s lively humour and our awareness of Sanshiro s doomed innocence, the novel comes to life. Sanshiro is also penetrating social and cultural commentary.

Natsume Soseki (1867-1916) is often considered the greatest modern Japanese novelist. In 1900, his government sent him to England for two years as Japan s first Japanese English literary scholar , but he had a miserable time there. Returning to Japan, he wrote his greatest novels, including Botchan, Sanshiro and Kokoro, as well as essays, haiku, and kanshi.
