    "Soseki is the representative modern Japanese novelist, a figure of truly national stature." -- Haruki Murukami One of the best-selling novels of all time in Japan: a modern classic about love, loneliness and profound social change A classic of modern Japanese literature, with over 7 million copies sold in Japan alone, told through the relationship between a young man and an enigmatic elder. Left alone in the seaside city of Kamakura, a young student is drawn to an enigmatic older man who swims at the same beach. He makes the older man's acquaintance, and soon comes to refer to him as Sensei. As their friendship grows, the young student becomes more and more intrigued by the secrets that haunt Sensei, the mysteries of his past that have compromised his present. Against the backdrop of the end of the Meiji era and the rapid modernisation of Japanese life, their relationship endures despite the distance that Sensei maintains - until one day, the young man receives a letter that divulges the full story of his past. One of the most popular and admired works of Japanese literature, Kokoro is a profound yet intimate picture of a changing Japan, and a timeless meditation on love, honour and friendship.

    Botchan is a modern young man from the Tokyo metropolis, sent to the ultra-traditional Matsuyama district as a Maths teacher after his the death of his parents. Cynical, rebellious and immature, Botchan finds himself facing several tests, from the pupils - prone to playing tricks on their new, na ve teacher; the staff - vain, immoral, and in danger of becoming a bad influence on Botchan; and from his own as-yet-unformed nature, as he finds his place in the world. One of the most popular novels in Japan where it is considered a classic of adolescence, as seminal as The Catcher in the Rye, Botchan is as funny, poignant and memorable as it was when first published, over 100 years ago.In J. Cohn's introduction to his colourful translation, he discusses Botchan's success, the book's clash between Western intellectualism and traditional Japanese values, and the importance of names and nicknames in the novel.

    Ein junger Mann, hin- und hergerissen zwischen zwei Frauen, flieht aus seinem wohlhabenden Elternhaus. Er ist verzweifelt und lebensmüde, es zieht ihn ins »Dunkel«. So sucht er nach einer Möglichkeit, aus der Welt zu verschwinden. Und findet sie, indem er sich zur Arbeit in einem Bergwerk verpflichtet. Das harte Leben unter Tage erweist sich als Wendepunkt - er, der sich nach der Dunkelheit gesehnt hat, erkennt in derselben, dass das Leben lebenswert ist. Noch vor James Joyce oder Marcel Proust beschreibt Natsume Soseki hier minutiös die Wahrnehmungen und Gedanken eines jugendlichen Antihelden. >Der Bergmann< zeichnet im Spiegel einer einzelnen Existenz das Bild einer japanischen Gesellschaft, die zur Jahrhundertwende mit sich und der Moderne ringt.»Es macht mich sehr glücklich, dass ich diesen Roman, der über hundert Jahre alt ist, heute noch lesen kann und er sich so gegenwärtig anfühlt. Er bewegt mich zutiefst und kann und darf nicht in Vergessenheit geraten.« HARUKI MURAKAMI

    Ten Nights' Dreams (¿¿¿, Yume J¿ya) is a classic written work from the Japanese master Natsume Soseki. Originally published in 1908, it announced the emergence in Japanese literature of a modernist and impressionistic mode. Short vignettes with fantastic, tragic, or magical events convey an exquisite sensibility compounded with stark realism. Love, honor, duty, artistry, desire, despair, and regret all shape events in the dream-world. The stories themselves suggest echoes of meanings beyond the failures of rational sense-making. Ten dreams-each unique and arresting-form a panorama of life and feeling, at once universal and intensely present."Our Cat's Grave" is a brief but heartfelt monody for a feline companion. Encompassing both the affection and the neglect, it becomes a meditation on empathy and helplessness, and on the transience of life and the persistence of memory.
