Una historia preciosa y deliciosamente contada. Las dos primeras partes dejan paso a la carta de Sensei, que para mi es la guinda del libro y el que crea el verdadero trasfondo de la historia. Soseki no solo no me ha decepcionado, sino que con esta novela me ha enamorado. Espero poder volver a leerlo pronto.

I think it is always easier to blame others than to blame ourselves and Kokoro explored this in such a beautiful way. While reading sensei’s recount of his life, i found him so so despicable and then i found him hypocritical and weak. In the end though, it made me realize that no human is capable of being completely good or completely evil.

I really enjoyed this book. surprisingly.

Also yes I did read this because of bungo stray dogs

Перше знайомство з автором. Нарешті. Проста спокійна книга з двома часовими лініями, що показує – у всі часи серце може завдавати болю, але й терпіти його теж. Дуже японський твір в загальному розумінні. (Ну правда, як можна вдало описати японську класичну літературу крім як назвати її японською класичною літературою?)
