Description
Specifications

Japan's favourite novel about growing up and finding yourself. Botchan is a modern young man from the Tokyo metropolis, sent to the ultra-traditional Matsuyama district as a Maths teacher after his the death of his parents. Cynical, rebellious and immature, Botchan finds himself facing several tests, from the pupils, the staff, and from his own as-yet-unformed nature, as he finds his place in the world. Beloved by readers in Japan, this book is as funny, poignant and memorable as it was when first published. Translated by J. Cohn.
