Immerse yourself in the beauty and depth of Japanese poetry with 'Dragonfly Dream', a bilingual anthology of 70 unpublished haikus by the renowned novelist Soseki Natsume. This careful selection, translated and commented on by Fernando Rodríguez-Izquierdo y Gavala, reveals a different but equally brilliant facet of Sôseki, a multifaceted author considered a pinnacle of modern Japanese literature. Through these haikus, the reader will be able to appreciate the simplicity and spirituality that characterize this traditional poetic form, now universally appreciated.
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).
