In the course of this exploration, Soseki brilliantly describes different levels of friendship, family relationships, and the devices by which men attempt to escape from their fundamental loneliness. The novel sustains throughout its length something approaching poetry, and it is rich in understanding and insight. The translation, by Edwin McClellan, is extremely good.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e--Anthony West, \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNatsume Soseki\u003c\/b\u003e (1867-1916), perhaps the greatest novelist if the Meiji period, remains one of the most widely read authors in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 8.25 x 5.38 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 01, 1996\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42702438596671,"sku":"9780895267153","price":22.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/9028368bb3c81470eb43305753bf3862.webp?v=1765024584","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/kokoro-paperback-2","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
