My Individualism and the Philosophical (Classics of Japanese Literature) - Tapa blanda

Published here for the first time in English, these essays explore issues close to Soseki's heart: the philosophical and cultural significance of isolation, belonging and identity associated with rapid technological, industrial and cultural change. True to his self-conscious style, each essay includes individual biographical anecdotes, inviting their allegorical reading as stories about the fate of Japan. Together, the essays reveal Soseki's attempts to create a theory of literature that is characteristically Japanese.

Soseki Natsume(1867-1916) is widely considered the foremost novelist of the Meiji period (1868-1914). Soseki wrote 14 novels, including Inside my Glass Doors and I Am a Cat.
