Soseki Natsume's Botchan: The Manga Edition: One of Japan's Most Popular Novels of All Time - Now Available in Manga Form!: Tuttle Japanese Classics In Manga

Autor Soseki Natsume Adaptat de Kaori Okura
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 sep 2024
One of the most popular novels of all time in Japan — now available in manga form!

"Filled with light, satirical touches." — Donald Keene

Reckless but unfailingly honest, Botchan is the youngest son in a middle-class Tokyo family. Following his graduation from college, he takes a job as a math teacher on the island of Shikoku, far from the city. Thrust into this alien small-town environment, Botchan encounters nothing but trouble from his students and fellow teachers. Among his tormentors are a pompous, two-faced vice-principal; his fawning sidekick, the spineless principal; and a pack of brawny, prankster students — all of whom seem out to get him. Mayhem ensues, but in the end Botchan prevails through honesty and dogged determination.

A modern classic, Botchan rivals Soseki's famous I Am a Cat in popularity in Japan. This is the funniest of Soseki's novels, a penetrating portrait of a young man's quest to survive the suffocating hypocrisy of everyone around him while remaining true to his beliefs.

Recommended for readers ages 14 and up due to explicit language
