坊っちゃん

A hot-tempered young graduate from Tokyo takes a post teaching mathematics at a middle school in the provinces, where scheming colleagues and mischievous pupils soon try his patience. Natsume Soseki's comic novel of 1906 sets one honest man's quick fists against the small politics of a country town. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
