Über den Autor


Natsume Soseki (1867-1916), novelist and scholar of English literature, is widely considered the foremost novelist of the Meiji period (1868-1914). Among his works, I am a Cat and Master Darling are especially known to almost every Japanese. His portrait is printed on the Japanese 1,000-yen note. After graduating from Tokyo Imperial University in 1893, Soseki taught high school before spending two years in England on a Japanese government scholarship. He returned to lecture in English literature at the university. Numerous nervous disorders forced him to give up teaching in 1908 and he became a full-time writer for the Asahi newspaper. In addition to fourteen novels, Soseki wrote haiku, poems in the Chinese style, academic papers on literary theory, essays, autobiographical sketches , and whimsical fairy tales.Translator Sammy Tsunematsu is the founder and curator of the Soseki Museum in London, and the translator of several of Soseki's works. Tsunematsu has lived in Surrey, England, for nearly thirty years.
