Produktbeschreibungen
Synopsis
Japan's greatest modern novelist, Natsume Soseki, has been described as one of the great literary giants of the 19th century, ranking with Dostoevsky, Melville and Dickens. "Kokoro - The Heart of Things" is both novel and psychological study. Against the background of an unconventional romantic triangle, Soseki probes the deep wrenching loneliness of a thinking person in a world full of new technology and clashing ideals. His two most famous essays, "My Individualism" and "The Civilization of Modern-Day Japan" are also included. The book is part of a series which aims to collect the best of Japanese fiction and non-fiction in modern translation, for presentation to a western audience. Produced under the aegis of the Japan-US Conference on Cultural and Educational Exchange, its volumes are designed to make readers aware of the social and cultural underpinnings of modern Japan.

With _Kokoro_ Natsume Soseki did what English-speaking authors apparently can't do: tell a story of (non-sexual) passion, betrayal, sadness, and above all a pervading, unbearable loneliness, all without being the least bit melodramatic. It's understated and almost dispassionate on the one hand, but profound and moving on the other. The author's understanding of the ordinariness (but vast importance) of the tragedy that is life is brilliant. One of the most underrated and underread of twentieth-century novels, and this is a great translation, to top it off.

The journey begins through curiosity. A young man tries to find meaning in his life. What better way than to follow a stranger on a beach? Isn't life ridiculous at times? Soseki's ability to look through the eyes of his characters makes his fiction breathe and live. Through his portrayal of human emotion his words create a poetry of life. He doesn't try to hide anything. Instead his stories bloom as one walks along, side by side, with the characters. In our search for meaning in life we look for a guide. Through 'Kokoro' Soseki guides us along the road that assures us that we ourselves are our own guides. He becomes our Sensei as we see through his eyes. Although meloncholy at times, Soseki's work is uplifting and genuine. It speaks of the power and grace of individual life. A recommended read for someone who wants to break away from the tension and speed of conteporary writing. Walk along with the characters and discover the coplex web of thought that can often capture the persona. Visit the grave of the monk student and find out the secret to Sensei's past. Take a quick train ride into the psyche of one mans mind while seeing through the eyes of another. Life is often complicated.

Natsume poignantly portrays the lonliness of the modern Japanese individual, inticed by Western freedom while bound by tradition, in this beautifully crafted novel. If you want to understand the alienation of Haruki's characters, this is where is all begins.
