El caminante, obra de madurez de Sōseki, narra la historia de un peculiar y sutil triángulo cuyos vértices conforman Jiro, su hermano Ichiro y la esposa de éste, Nao. Atrapados entre tradición y modernidad, los personajes deambulan por un Japón hambriento de cambio y de progreso que se enfrenta a una metamorfósis demasiado rápida. La angustia vital que atormenta al protagonista, Ichiro, es la de la soledad del hombre inmerso en una sociedad que avanza sin tregua, sin otorgar nunca un respiro. Su mujer, Nao, escoge el camino de la pasividad y del desafío silencioso y frío. Finalmente Jiro, cuyos gestos son imperceptibles susurros de amor velado hacia su cuñada, es testigo del desplome del frágil estado mental de su hermano: «Parecía un pez varado en la arena dando coletazos en su fútil lucha por la vida». El caminante trasciende fronteras y refleja la angustia del hombre moderno aislado irremediablemente de su familia y de una sociedad cuyos valores se desmoronan.
