I Am a Cat. Your humble servant cat

As a kitten, he sneaked into the kitchen of a schoolteacher who, feeling sorry for the little one, took him into his home. Now he is a dignified domestic cat, annoying the household staff, paying respect to his master, and lazily playing with his master's children. Observing the events around him, the cat narrates how ridiculous and touching people are in their weaknesses and misconceptions. The book ‘Your Humble Servant Cat’ is a witty parody of social norms and values, marking the beginning of Natsume Sōseki's creative journey, a classic of modern Japanese literature. The edition presents the unadapted text in the original language, with outdated and difficult-to-understand words annotated with furigana.
