I am a cat – Natsume Sōseki

Beschrijving

A classic of Japanese literature, I Am a Cat is one of Sosekis best-known novels. Considered by many as the greatest writer in modern Japanese history, SosekisSoseki Natsume’s comic masterpiece, I Am a Cat, satirizes the foolishness of upper-middle-class Japanese society in early 20th century Tokyo.

Written with biting wit and sardonic perspective, it follows the whimsical adventures of a rather cynical stray kitten. He finds his way into the home of an English teacher, where his running commentary on the follies and foibles of the people around him has been making readers laugh for more than a century.
