About This Novel
"The final volume of Natsume Soseki's late trilogy, the best-selling novel in the history of Japanese literature" - "Heart" is the last of Natsume Soseki's late trilogy "After the Vernal Equinox", "Pedestrian", and "Heart". It tells the story of a young student "I" who accidentally met a misanthropic gentleman and became a close friend. Before committing suicide, my husband wrote a letter to "me" explaining the reason for his suicide: when he was young, he used shady means to win over his friend and love rival K, which led to K's suicide. From then on, I had doubts about the goodness of human beings and could not get rid of the feeling of guilt. It depicts the image of an intellectual struggling with ethics and morality.
