[Machine Translation] We applaud the honesty of Soseki's "Botchan," who gave up on his "boar-toothed genius" and returned to Tokyo to live with Kiyoshi, and we applaud the hero's down-to-earth way of life as depicted by Oda Saku. The stories that remain in our hearts will always accompany us on the journey of life. With words selected from his works, which he still loves, he unravels the richness and profundity of life with an earnest sensibility. This is a reissue of the famous essay "Words of Bungaku," which was written before his debut as a writer.
