這是一部利己主義者的懺悔錄更是棄失道德者的黑色自白「早該死矣，為何苟活至今。」這是一部描繪明治時代知識分子的孤獨心靈，與主角歷經情慾掙扎、悔恨丟失道德的黑色自白之作。帶你一窺漱石晚年的纖細心思，與曖昧美學。夏目漱石藉著一位懵懂純真的少年「我」，作為故事挖掘者，深入探尋個性沉著穩重，內心卻陰鬱黑暗的「老師」曾經經歷的人性風暴。原來這位看似品德高尚的「老師」，曾經在一場三角戀情中背叛摯友，甚至間接促使好友走上絕路。在發生摯友自殺的慘劇以前，「老師」一直以高雅驕傲的姿態，睥睨且提防一切庸俗卑鄙之人。然而極諷刺的，他卻因情慾喪失了智慧與道德，成為自己的道德準則之下，最卑劣的那等人。「總之，我是個原本打算走在正直的康莊大道上，卻不小心滑了一跤的蠢蛋，也可以說是狡猾的男人。」朋友的死縱然成全了自己的愛情與幸福，但當「老師」發現到自己為了情慾，竟連最基本的道德都無法謹守時，他再也無法忍受自己的腥臭。孤獨的後半生中，即使心存振作之念，想脫離自厭的情緒，「老師」還是徒然無力地發現「那股神祕而可怕的力量，雖然禁止我的各種行動，卻唯獨為我敞開了死亡之路。」最終，他只剩下殉死一途，因為覺悟到自己「早該死矣，為何苟活至今。」只是這樣的死亡，究竟能完成什麼？《心》是夏目漱石歷經數月神經衰弱的折磨後，寫下的連載小說，內容極盡刻劃人性之庸俗與駭惡。本書前兩部展現了大段朦朧隱晦的對話，夏目漱石埋下一系列細密、富有懸疑感的伏筆，成功描繪出幽昧難測、糾葛凌亂的人心變化。前面布下的疑問和秘密如點點星火般，最終才在本書第三部「老師」的自白書中蔓延開展，真相由此揭發，在前兩部的襯托之下，堆疊出撼人心魄的人性真實，令人不禁為主角的內心撕扯嘆息不已。
