About this book
Overview
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. I Am a Cat first appeared in ten installments in the literary magazine Hototogisu (Cuckoo), between 1905 and 1906.
