He wrote this novel in 1914, at the peak of his career, and it remains an excellent introduction to modern Japanese literature.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Kokoro | Natsume Soseki | Paperback | 9780486451398 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks A 1564019","offer_id":48163455631512,"sku":"1564019","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61qT-fY0aIL.jpg?v=1771883719","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/kokoro","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
