Ten Nights' Dreams

by Soseki Natsume, Lovetta R. Lorenz, Takumi Kashima · 1908

+ Want to read

This collection of ten connected stories or dreams has a surrealistic atmosphere. Some are weird, others are grotesquely funny. Among the ten nights, the first, second, third, and fifth nights start with the same sentence "This is the dream I dreamed."Whether Sosecki actually had these dreams or whether they were complete fictions is not known.
