«Soy un gato» is the satirical novel by Natsume Soseki, published by Impedimenta in paperback (656 pages, in Spanish).
A nameless cat living with Professor Kushami and his family observes with irony the daily life of Tokyo's middle class during the Meiji era. Through his comments, the novel portrays characters such as the chatterbox Meitei or the young Kangetsu and satirizes customs, social hypocrisy, and Western influence in Japan at the time.
First novel by Natsume Sōseki, translated from Japanese by Yoko Ogihara and Fernando Cordobés, and published in the Impedimenta collection as number 35.
For readers of Japanese literary classics who appreciate social satire and humor.
Natsume Sōseki was a Japanese novelist, poet, and scholar. He is considered one of the greatest writers in modern Japanese history and is often called the first modern novelist of Japan. Sōseki's fiction explored themes of individualism, loneliness, and the conflict between traditional Japanese values and the rapid Westernization of the Meiji era. His major works include I Am a Cat (1905), Botchan (1906), Sanshirō (1908), Kokoro (1914), and his unfinished final novel Light and Dark (1916).
