Baffled and excited by the traffic, the academics, and-most  of all-the women, Sanshiro must find his way among the sophisticates  that fill his new life. An incisive social and cultural commentary, \u003ci\u003eSanshiro\u003c\/i\u003e is also a subtle portrait of first love, tradition, and modernization,  and the idealism of youth against the cynicism of middle age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
