Sanshirō
About This Novel
Sanshirō has three worlds in his heart. The first world is a stable and old hometown, and it is also Sanshirō's retreat, where he has properly sealed the "past" he abandoned. The second is the world of learning. Scholars immerse themselves in knowledge. They are unfortunate because they are abandoned by the world, but they are lucky because they escape from the hustle and bustle of the world. The third world is full of splendor, with all the flashy things, and the beauties that Sanshirō admires. This is the world with the deepest meaning. It is right in front of you, but it is difficult to get close... Sanshirō came to Tokyo from Kyushu to study at a university. In a modern city full of freshness, Sanshirō not only entered the palace of knowledge, but was also brought into a prosperous and splendid social world that was completely different from his hometown. Sanshirō falls in love with the mysterious Mineko, but she ambiguously circulates between Sanshirō and university professor Nonomiya. On the other hand, classmates and Jiro secretly plan a student gathering with the intention of proposing reforms to the school. Sanshirō was in the whirlpool of change and saw the strange phenomena and contradictions in society. He is like the "lost lamb" in Mineko's words, feeling hesitant and confused about love, life, and even the entire era...
