Natsume Soseki\'s only coming-of-age novel, Sanshiro depicts the eponymous twenty-three-year-old protagonist as he leaves the sleepy countryside to attend a university in the constantly moving "real world" of Tokyo.
An incisive social and cultural commentary, Sanshiro is also a subtle portrait of first love, tradition, and modern.
Baffled and excited by the traffic, the academics, and-most of all-the women, Sanshiro must find his way among the sophisticates that fill his new life.
