A Private Venus by Giorgio Scerbanenco
Giorgio Scerbanenco
Sanshiro by Natsume Soseki
Natsume Soseki


In the first installment of the prizewinning Duca Lamberti Quartet from the godfather of Italian noir, a disgraced doctor investigating the murder of a young woman uncovers a shocking network of trafficking and exploitation in 1960s Milan.

Soseki’s work of gentle humor and doomed innocence depicts 23-year-old Sanshiro, a recent graduate from a provincial college, as he begins university life in the big city of Tokyo. This gorgeous Clothbound Classics edition of Soseki’s cherished novel also includes an introduction by Haruki Murakami.
