Beschreibung

This English version of ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ (Wagahai-wa neko de aru: I Am a Cat), Chapters I and II, written by Natsume S¿seki, pseudonym of Natsume Kinnosuke (1867-1916), and translated by Kan-ichi Ando (1878-1924), was published by Hattori Shoten, Tokyo, in 1906. It begins: "I am a cat; but as yet I have no name."

Of the men he concludes: "They are miserable creatures in the eyes of a cat."
