One of the most popular novels in Japan, Botchan is the story of a
young graduate who takes up his first teaching post at Matsuyama
middle school in the countryside. Botchan, a native of Tokyo views
Matsuyama as a small backwater town with unusual customs. Strong
willed and with the spirit of Edokko, Botchan soon finds himshelf
at odds with the town and with the school. Written in 1906, Botchan
is based on the authors own experience as a teacher at Matsuyama
Middle School in 1895 and can be viewed as semiautobiographical.
