{"product_id":"sanshiro","title":"Sanshiro (Penguin Clothbound Classics)","description":"xlix, 235 pp. Translated with notes by Jay Rubin, and an introduction by Haruki Murakami. Cloth cover illustrated by the award winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. First published in 1908 in Japan. Soseki's work of gentle humor and doomed innocence depicts twenty-three-year-old Sanshiro, a recent graduate from a provincial college, as he begins university life in the big city of Tokyo. Baffled and excited by the traffic, the academics and  -  most of all  -  the women, Sanshiro must find his way amongst the sophisticates who fill his new life. An incisive social and cultural commentary, Sanshiro is also a subtle study of first love, tradition, modernization, and the idealism of youth against the cynicism of middle age.","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50596968398918,"sku":"2354776","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/files\/2354776.jpg?v=1791830661","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/sanshiro","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
