Publisher Description

Unhuman Tour by Soseki Natsume, also known as Botchan no Jidai, is a satirical novel that offers a humorous and critical look at Japanese society during the Meiji period. The story follows the misadventures of Shun Namiki, a young man from Tokyo who embarks on a journey to the remote island of Kyushu to work as a teacher in a rural school. Armed with a haughty attitude and a sharp tongue, Shun quickly finds himself at odds with the conservative values and customs of the local community. As Shun navigates the challenges of life in the countryside, he encounters a colorful cast of characters, including his eccentric fellow teachers, the mischievous students, and the strict school principal. Through a series of humorous and often absurd incidents, Shun learns valuable lessons about humility, compassion, and the importance of embracing diversity. Along the way, Shun''s journey becomes a metaphorical exploration of the clash between tradition and modernity in Meiji-era Japan. Through his interactions with the locals and his observations of rural life, Shun comes to appreciate the richness and complexity of Japanese culture, even as he struggles to reconcile his own Westernized worldview with the customs and traditions of the past. Unhuman Tour is a witty and insightful novel that offers a sharp critique of the social and cultural norms of its time. Through its engaging storyline, memorable characters, and biting satire, Soseki Natsume''s novel remains a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.
