 | | Later in his books Natsume ofted dealt with the relationship between parents and their children. | | | Eventually Sensei decides to follow the example of General Nogi Maresuke - General Nogi killed himself in the old samurai fashion after the death of his master, the Emperor Meiji (reigned 1868-1912). | | | In Nowaki (1907) he is a poor young man dying of tuberculosis, in the often humorous Sanshiro (1908) a shy provincial youth, and in Kofu (1908) a young man who runs away from home. |

| | And Soseki is most available to an American reader--at least ten of his novels have been translated into English (about as many as Mishima's). | | | While teaching a Saturday-morning seminar on Soseki my last semester at Washburn, I showed a video on the Meiji period in which Soseki was presented as epitomizing its strong appetite for, and ultimate frustration with, those influences from the West. | | | In a sense the novel seems to be a romance, for the artist is attracted to a woman with whom he keeps crossing paths, but nothing ever comes of the relationship--so, thematically, the novel it is extremely ambiguous, and, no doubt, was largely experimental, as Soseki was testing his range as a writer. |

| | Foreword, Kokoro, by Natsume Soseki |
| | Soseki was too modern in his outlook to be fully in sympathy with the general; and so is Sensei. | | | In it, as in all his other important novels, Soseki is concerned with man's loneliness in the modern world. | | | It is in one of his other novels that the protagonist cries out: "How can I escape, except through faith, madness, or death?" And for Sensei, the protagonist of |

| | Despite an intense love and affinity for the Chinese classics, the young Soseki, in tune with the modernizing spirit of the times, chose to specialize in English and became the second-ever student to graduate from the English Literature department of Tokyo Imperial University. | | | Botchan (1905), the tale of a headstrong Tokyoite going forth to teach in the provinces, was another humorous tale loosely based on Soseki's own experiences in Shikoku. | | | He was in the middle of a further novel Light and Darkness when he died from internal hemorrhaging in December 1916. |

| | This is imagined, but one begins to suspect that Haruki Murakami was influenced by this novel and even appropriates some of the themes found in it for his own: mysterious and alluring women who flit in and out of the story, odd scientific and philosophical theories as props, central character as passive witness. | | | Soseki's simple, elegant writing style survives even through translation. | | | "Sanshiro" is in many ways both different and yet similar to Soseki's most famous work, "Kokoro." Both include tales of heartbreak and tragedy, along with social commentary on Japanese society. |
