From Wikipedia: Kokoro (a "aCuaCi or a "a "aCi) is a novel by the
Japanese author Natsume Soseki. It was first published in 1914 in
serial form in the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shinbun. While the
title literally means "heart", the word contains shades of meaning,
and can be translated as "the heart of things" or "feeling". The
work deals with the transition from the Japanese Meiji society to
the modern era, by exploring the friendship between a young man and
an older man he calls "Sensei" (or teacher). It continues the theme
of isolation developed in Soseki's immediately preceding works,
here in the context of interwoven strands of egoism and guilt, as
opposed to shame. Other important themes in the novel include the
changing times (particularly the modernization of Japan in the
Meiji era), the changing roles and ideals of women, and
intergenerational change in values, the role of family, the
importance of the self versus the group, the cost of weakness, and
identity.
