Description
This English translation of Natsume Sōseki's humorous feline narrative begins with the iconic phrase: "I am a cat; but as yet I have no name." Through the eyes of his sardonic narrator, we witness the inner workings of a Meiji-era household, where cats and humans engage in witty repartee. The author's sharp observations on human nature are both amusing and insightful.
With its unique blend of satire and literary commentary, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into Japan's early 20th-century intellectual scene. The translator's work brings Sōseki's original text to life in English, making it accessible to readers worldwide.
Paperback edition, 134 pages.
