For Beginners to Intermediates This book is ideal for upper beginners, but beginners who have a good grasp of hiragana and the most fundamental aspects of Japanese grammar and sentence structure will find it valuable.

ABOUT NATSUME SOUSEKI 夏目漱石 is one of Japan’s most famous authors. He is primarily celebrated for his novels "Kokoro," "Botchan," "I Am a Cat," "Kusamakura," and his unfinished piece "Light and Darkness." Additionally, he was a scholar of English literature and a prolific writer of haiku, kanshi poetry, and fairy tales.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

The book features two versions of the biography. Begin with the simplified version, which uses primarily JLPT N5-N4 level vocabulary and grammar. Then, progress to the intermediate version, which presents the same information but in a longer format with more complex grammar and vocabulary.

The intermediate biography, initially featured in our Makoto Magazine (MakotoPlus.com), has been significantly revised and expanded for this edition. The book also includes a concise beginner-level version of the essay. Start by reviewing the vocabulary and grammar notes, proceed with the beginner-level essay, and then challenge yourself with the full intermediate essay.

BONUS MATERIAL Access the bonus content via the link on the last page of the book to enhance your Japanese reading skills (PDF & ePub), listening comprehension (audio files - both slow and regular speed), and vocabulary acquisition (Anki flashcard decks). The Anki flashcard decks are a fast way to assimilate the vocabulary. An incredible value!

Bonuses include:

Audio recordings of both essays at slow and regular speeds.

An Anki flashcard deck to study and memorize the story's vocabulary.
