Product Information

Una apreciación personal es que no encontraréis aquí las características principales de la literatura japonesa.

The MC, a young woman named Takako, a sensitive and reserved person, really blossoms by the end of this short book. The story then skips ahead over a period of years, moving from Takako to her uncle Satoru as he’s reunited with his long-lost wife Momoko, after her mysterious disappearance. Gli autori giapponesi hanno un super potere da non sottovalutare: riescono a descrivere le più semplici azioni quotidiane come se fossero parte di un altro piano esistenziale. Questo è l’esordiente per far risolvere Takako a far visita allo zio Satoru, proprietario di una libreria.E mentre i libri aiutano Takako a ritrovare e scoprire la vera sé stessa, allo stesso modo Satoru riuscirà a ricucire le sue ferite, grazie proprio alla presenza della nipote. It was first published in Japan in 2010, the sequel the following year Morisaki Shoten No Hibi, a hit Japanese movie based on the book, was released in 2010 to great acclaim.

Satoshi Yagisawa’s debut novel, first published in 2010, won the Chiyoda Literature Prize and was later turned into a film.Una historia para no sufrir, para no pensar y con el que yo he pasado un buen rato, volviendo mentalmente a Jimbocho, el barrio de las librerías de Tokio, uno de mis lugares favoritos del mundo. Twenty-five-year-old Takako has enjoyed a relatively easy existence—until the day her boyfriend Hideaki, the man she expected to wed, casually announces he’s been cheating on her and is marrying the other woman.
