Genzaburo Yoshino (1899-1981) was a writer, editor and journalist. In 1935, the writer Yamamoto appointed him editor-in-chief of the 16-book series- A Library for Young Japanese Nationals. How Do You Live? is the final book in this series, bringing in themes of Marxism, antimilitarism and Buddhism.
An important, worthwhile and surprisingly of-the-moment novel ...
as timely now as it was in 1937
*Asian Review of Books*
Heartwarming and empathetic. . . Like the best Miyazaki films,
[the] lessons are often deceptively simple, but they have
implications for every person who comes of age through
adversity.
*Vulture*
Not easily forgotten. . . Some may feel inclined to affirm an
unusual truth: 'I am wiser for having read this book.'
*The New York Times Book Review*
How Do You Live? is that rare thing . . . It asks its young readers
to think about the person they want to be, and its adult readers to
reflect on the person they've become.
*Wired*
A quiet, introspective look at life and how to be human.
*Kirkus Reviews*
