I Am a Cat 

"A nonchalant string of anecdotes and wisecracks, told by a fellow who doesn`t have a name, and has never caught a mouse, and isn`t much good for anything except watching human beings in action…" --The New Yorker Written from 1904 through 1906, Soseki Natsume`s comic masterpiece, I Am a Cat, satirizes the foolishness of upper-middle-class Japanese society during the Meiji era. With acerbic wit and sardonic perspective, it follows the whimsical adventures of a world-weary stray kitten who comments on the follies and foibles of the people around him. A classic of Japanese literature, I Am a Cat is one of Soseki`s best-known novels. Considered by many as the most significant writer in modern Japanese history, Soseki`s I Am a Cat is a classic novel sure to be enjoyed for years to come.
