Más allá del equinoccio de primavera

Por Natsume Soseki

Keitaro, un típico antihéroe sosekiano, acaba de licenciarse y está desesperado, inmerso en la búsqueda de un primer empleo que no parece llegar. Sin embargo, ahora que su formación académica ha terminado, se presenta ante él una etapa fundamental para su educación emocional. Mientras busca un hueco en el que encajar dentro de la sociedad, se va encontrando con distintas personas que, a través de sus propios relatos personales, le van a aportar grandes enseñanzas vitales.

Entre ellos, el aventurero Morimoto, que le regala un peculiar bastón tallado, y su amigo Sunaga, que le narra una conmovedora historia repleta de promesas olvidadas, en la que participan sus tíos Taguchi y Matsumoto, dos hombres totalmente opuestos, y su prima Chiyoko, una joven que parece ser la causa de todas sus desgracias.

Poseedora de la oscura melancolía de "Kokoro", pero con la frescura de "Sanshiro" o "Botchan", "Más allá del equinoccio de primavera" es una novela delicada y sutil que entreteje un increíble tapiz emocional de personajes y que eleva a Soseki por encima de cualquier otro autor de su época.

Natsume Soseki

Natsume Sōseki (1867-1916) was a Japanese novelist. Born in Babashita, a town in the Edo region of Ushigome, Sōseki was the youngest of six children. Due to financial hardship, he was adopted by a childless couple who raised him from 1868 until their divorce eight years later, at which point Sōseki returned to his biological family. Educated in Tokyo, he took an interest in literature and went on to study English and Chinese Classics while at the Tokyo Imperial University. He started his career as a poet, publishing haiku with the help of his friend and fellow-writer Masaoka Shiki. In 1895, he found work as a teacher at a middle school in Shikoku, which would serve as inspiration for his popular novel Botchan (1906). In 1900, Sōseki was sent by the Japanese government to study at University College London. Later described as “the most unpleasant years in [his] life,” Sōseki’s time in London introduced him to British culture and earned him a position as a professor of English literature back in Tokyo. Recognized for such novels as Sanshirō (1908) and Kokoro (1914), Sōseki was a visionary artist whose deep commitment to the life of humanity has earned him praise from such figures as Haruki Murakami, who named Sōseki as his favorite writer.
