A classic of the literature of Japan
Soseki Natsume is one of the greats in the lierature of Japan that is available to English speakers in a good translation, some others include Kawabata Yasunari, and Tanizaki Junichiro. I Am a Cat was a brilliant shift of frame by the author. It remains fascinating a century after being written.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
