<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"One of Soseki's most beloved works of fiction, the novel depicts the 23-year-old Sanshiro leaving the sleepy countryside for the first time in his life to experience the constantly moving 'real world' of Tokyo, its women and university. In the subtle tension between our appreciation of Soseki's lively humour and our awareness of Sanshiro's doomed innocence, the novel comes to life. Sanshiro is also penetrating social and cultural commentary." --Book Jacket.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Natsume Soseki's only coming-of-age novel, <i>Sanshiro</i> depicts the eponymous twenty-three-year-old protagonist as he leaves the sleepy countryside to attend a university in the constantly moving real world of Tokyo. Baffled and excited by the traffic, the academics, and-most of all-the women, Sanshiro must find his way among the sophisticates that fill his new life. An incisive social and cultural commentary, <i>Sanshiro</i> is also a subtle portrait of first love, tradition, and modernization, and the idealism of youth against the cynicism of middle age. <p/>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
