One of Japan's most treasured novels—new to Penguin Classics

A hilarious tale about a young man's rebellion against "the system" in a country school, Natsume Soseki's Botchan has enjoyed a timeless popularity in Japan. The setting is Japan's deep south, where the author himself spent some time teaching English in a boys' school. Into this conservative world, with its social proprieties and established pecking order, breezes Botchan, down from the big city and with scant respect for either his elders or his noisy young charges. The result is a light, funny, fast-paced novel.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Natsume Soseki

Nascido em Tóquio em 1867, Natsume Soseki é amplamente considerado o maior romancista moderno japonês. Formou-se em Língua e Literatura Inglesa na Universidade de Tóquio, em 1893, onde, depois, também lecionou. Em 1905, o seu primeiro romance, Sou Um Gato, trouxe-lhe grande reconhecimento. No ano seguinte, abandona a carreira académica e consagra inteiramente a sua vida à escrita. Kokoro, que foi originalmente publicado em 1914, dois anos antes da morte do autor, é, até hoje, o seu romance mais lido e conhecido em todo o mundo.
