Description

Written in 1906, Botchan remains among Japan's most popular novels. Its central theme is morality, and it was based on the author's experiences as a teacher who moves from the city to the provinces. "This rollicking rebel, and the spice and pace of the narrative, will appeal to parent, teacher, and schoolchild alike." —  Times Literary Supplement.
