夏目漱石(Natsume Soseki) 1867年生于日本江户。1905年发表小说《我是猫》获得广大好评。来年继续发表引人瞩目的作品，包括《少爷》与《草枕》。1907年专心从事小说创作，连续发表了《三四郎》《后来的事》《行人》以及《心》等在日本文学史上大放异彩的杰作。1916年在创作最后一部大作《明暗》的期间因胃溃疡恶化，不幸去世，享年四十九岁。 活跃于日本从近代迈入现代的关键时期，夏目漱石不仅发表多篇文学创作，也在报纸、杂志大量撰写文艺评论，奠定日本现代文学之基础。日本近代文学馆亦肯认夏目漱石对于日本文坛发展的深远影响，如芥川龙之介、有岛武郎等白桦派作家、津田青枫、岸田刘生。身处东亚文艺圈的鲁迅也深受夏目漱石的启发，足见其在世界文学史的重要地位。
