FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Soseki Natsume was born in Tokyo in 1867. He taught English in a small town before studying for three years in England. Returning to teach at Tokyo University, he began his writing career soon after. He became famous during his lifetime and is the only Japanese author referred to by his first name (Soseki).Nagi Yoshizaki is a Japanese manga artist who has illustrated many graphic novels in his native Japan. The works he is best known for include Atashi, Hitori..., Zettai Triangle Love and For You, My Beloved. Review "Soseki Natsume is a great writer to have in anyones collection. At his best, his prose is lush and rife with human observation and insight. He is capable of genuine pathos as seen in his novels such as Kokoro and I Am a Cat, but he is also capable of great humor and satire, as in the case of both Cat and Botchan." —Seattle Post-Intelligencer"This retelling absolutely did the original text justice. This is possibly my favorite manga retelling of a Japanese classic. All the important details were there— the layered emotions of the characters, the complex relationships between them, the tension and the anguish, and then of course the famous quotes that many readers have come to hold dear through the years since this classic had been brought to an international audience." —Dominique Jardiolin, @chroniqled bookstagram Details ISBN4805317744 Author Makiko Itoh Format Paperback Pages 192 Publisher Tuttle Publishing Year 2024 Translator Makiko Itoh ISBN-13 9784805317747 Publication Date 2024-04-23 Imprint Tuttle Publishing Place of Publication Boston Country of Publication United States Illustrations b&w illustrations Audience General US Release Date 2024-04-23 Subtitle The Heart of Things AU Release Date 2024-03-31 Series Tuttle Japanese Classics In Manga ISBN-10 4805317744 UK Release Date 2024-04-23 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
