Autor

Soseki Natsume (1867 1916) was a prominent Japanese novelist and scholar, widely regarded as one of Japan s greatest literary figures. Born in Tokyo during the final years of the Edo period, he lived through Japan s rapid transformation during the Meiji era. Soseki initially studied literature and philosophy at the Tokyo Imperial University before receiving a government scholarship to study in England, where he experienced deep loneliness and cultural alienation. Upon returning to Japan, Soseki began his literary career, writing novels that reflected the psychological and social upheavals of modern Japan. His works explore themes of alienation, existential despair, and the tension between traditional Japanese values and Westernization. His most famous works include I Am a Cat, Kokoro, and Kusamakura. Soseki s writing is characterized by philosophical depth, psychological insight, and a profound sensitivity to the human condition. Often seen as a voice for the inner struggles of individuals in a rapidly changing world, his legacy continues to influence Japanese literature today.
