Botchan Condition:Like New and Chinese eagerness to acquireWritten 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.
