Description
Botchan, a humorous novel about a young man's rebellion against "the system", has enjoyed timeless popularity in Japan. Set in a conservative country school, Natsume Soseki's tale follows the arrival of Botchan, a city dweller with scant respect for his elders or noisy young charges.
The result is a light, funny and fast-paced novel that offers a glimpse into Japan's deep south during a particular time period. With its social proprieties and established pecking order, this setting provides an interesting backdrop for Botchan's antics.
