This vintage book contains Yukichi Fukuzawa's 1897 autobiography, "The Autobiography of Fukuzawa Yukichi". Yukichi Fukuzawa (1835 - 1901) was a pivotal figure in the cultural transformation of Japan that changed it from a secluded feudal country, to an important player on the international stage. He is famous for translating and adapting a vast amount of Western literature for the Japanese people. This autobiography furnishes a clear picture of Fukuzawa's life, from a childhood spent in a small castle town, to his becoming a member of the samurai class. A fascinating and insightful account, this volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the formation of a modern Japan. Many antiquarian texts such as this, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are increasingly hard to come by and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
