Botchan
Soseki Natsume
Book Overview:
Botchan is the story of a young math teacher from Tokyo whose first assignment takes him to a middle school in the country side. His arrival there is not very lucky: The pupils are bound to test his perseverance and cheerily comments every one of his perceived missteps. In the teacher's room, he soon finds himself in the middle of an intrigue between the jovial "Porcupine" and the fat "Hubbard Squash" on one side, and the effeminate "Red Shirt" and his follower "Clown" on the other. Will Botchan choose the right side in the end?

”Now that I thought about it, though, I realized that most people actually encourage you to turn bad. They seem to think that if you don't, you'll never get anywhere in the world.

Japon edebiyatı ile ilk tanışma için uygun bir kitap olabilir. Oldukça basit ve kolay okunur-yormayan bir anlatımı var. İnsanları neden sevmediğinizi hatırlatması da artısı. :)

RESEÑA completa
PURA DIVERSIÓN.
Si no habéis leído nada de Soseki empezad por 'Botchan' y no os arrepentiréis.

Me lo he pasado genial. Super recomendado!!!

A rough diamond in Japan
In every country, people treasure certain images of themselves, whether they are accurate or not. In general, among numerous peoples like the Chinese, Japanese, French, Russians, or English, there are so many personality types as to make such images totally stereotypical. In
Botchan is like Japan's Tom Sawyer. It is read by schoolchildren across the country and has been the subject of innumerable TV sketches and parodies ever since Soseki wrote it early in the 20th Century.

This book from 1906, translated from the Japanese, is kind of a “Tom Brown at Oxford” set in Japan, and, in fact, the author did attend British schools, so maybe that’s where he got the idea for the book.
A young man from Tokyo finds a job as a math teacher in a boys’
