More about the book
Botchan, the "little master" created in 1906 by Sōseki, is as famous in Japanese literature as Cosette is for us, or Tom Sawyer for Americans. This young teacher, fresh out of Tokyo, faces the troubles of his students and the schemes of his colleagues in a provincial college. He is the central character in a delightful gallery of portraits, a vigorous moral tale where caustic grotesqueness and surprising harshness of tone intertwine.
