''Even bigger than Japan is the inside of your head. Don''t ever surrender yourself - not to Japan, not to anything''Soseki''s work of gentle humour and doomed innocence depicts twenty-three-year-old Sanshiro, a recent graduate from a provincial college, as he begins university life in the big city of Tokyo. Baffled and excited by the traffic, the academics and - most of all - the women, Sanshiro must find his way amongst the sophisticates that fill his new life. An incisive social and cultural commentary, Sanshiro is also a subtle study of first love, tradition and modernization, and the idealism of youth against the cynicism of middle age.This is a Clothbound Classics edition of Soseki''s beloved novel, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. These delectable and collectible Penguin editions are bound in high-quality, colourful and tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Masterfully translated by Jay Rubin, this edition also includes an introduction by Haruki Murakami.
