The complete works of Natsume Soseki, an author I've always loved! I started collecting them one by one, and before I knew it, I'm almost filling the whole set haha.
It is a story that feels like it was set after the young master quit school, but it cannot escape the atmosphere of that era and highlights the intellectual's sense of superiority.

Although Soseki’s fifth work, *The Umiincho*, was good, he seems to shine brightest when telling a story from the perspective of an individual wandering through their own thoughts. • The nineteen-year-old protagonist leaves his wealthy home with the intention of dying, deciding to become a miner, a status second only to oxen and horses in that era. • Although things do not go as planned, he experiences a new perspective on the bottom of society during a single training session in the mine
I am currently reading the complete set, and my expectations have grown significantly thanks to other people's reviews. Of course, the introduction is also impressive.
A young master, having decided to commit suicide and disappear from the midst of his wealth, enters the harsh reality of life as a miner. There, amidst the hardships and a life so different from what he had experienced before, he displays both stubbornness and sheds tears. However, his determination to stay a little longer, having decided to give it a try, struck me as admirable and admirable. If it were me, I would have given up immediately and sought a more comfortable life. He decides to
A feeling similar yet different from Soseki's other works? The contradiction of running away from home to die, yet playing it safe for fear of dying.
It is a thought-provoking book about a miner who reflects on his life by comparing it to the connections he made on the road.
To be honest, before I knew anything about Natsume Soseki, I only knew the name of the novel *The Miner* through Haruki Murakami's novels and essays. Murakami stated that *The Miner* is his top pick among Natsume Soseki's works. Curious about why, Hyunamsa happened to publish a translated complete collection of Natsume Soseki's works. The very first book I picked up from that collection was *The Miner*. (Of course, I had already read *Sanshiro*, *I Am a Cat*, and others from various other
Natsume Soseki: pitman
Volume 6 of the "Complete Works of Natsume Soseki," *The Miner*, offers a fresh reading experience through solid translation, meticulous editing, and design. Marking the 100th anniversary of the death of Natsume Soseki (1867–1916), the "Father of Modern Japanese Literature" and "National Writer," Hyeonamsa has published a complete translation of his novels for the first time in Korea. While Natsume Soseki's works have previously been reprinted by various publishers in Korea, often focusing on his representative works, the collection published by Hyeonamsa is the first in the country to shed new light on the world of his long-form novels, which he intensively crafted over a period of 12 years, and is presented through "contemporary translation." *The Miner* follows the solitary path of a young master who runs away from home and heads toward a mine. He dissects and analyzes a single person—"I"—finely, mocking him before feeling pity, scolding him before praising him. Constantly walking or moving his body, he looks "dynamically" into his inner self. It is a novel serialized in the *Asahi Shimbun* in 1908, and although there is not much material remaining about *The Miner*, Soseki’s wife recalled that the novel was inspired by a young man who visited one day and told Soseki about his experiences as a miner. It also serves as an explanation for the suicide of his disciple, Fujimura Misao, who was tormented by his suffering.
