Hélène Morita Książki

Les Trois Diplômés de l'Ecole du Blaireau, La Biographie de Nénémou Pène-nène-nène-nène-nène, La Fourrure du rat-des-neiges, Le Jeune Echo, L'Office des chats, Tanéli avait vraiment l'impression d'avoir mâché toute la journée... Les seuls titres de Miyazawa sont de succulentes et déroutantes invitations à la lecture. Ce recueil réunit onze textes du grand auteur japonais. Avec l'humour qu'on lui connaît désormais, jouant sans cesse entre les registres burlesque, poétique et mystique, Miyazawa fait se mêler le monde des hommes et celui des animaux ou des esprits. Une variété et une fraîcheur inépuisables...

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • A REAL SIMPLE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR From the author of Norwegian Wood and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World comes a poignant love story and quest, celebrating books and the libraries that house them. When a young man's girlfriend mysteriously disappears, he is heartbroken and determined to find the imaginary town where he believes she has gone. This lifelong search leads him into middle age and a job at a remote library filled with its own mysteries. He journeys between the real world and a shadowless city where unicorns roam and willow trees grow. There, he discovers his beloved working in a dream library, but she has no memory of their past together. As seasons change and the man grapples with the blurred lines between these two worlds, he must confront what he is willing to sacrifice. This narrative serves as a parable for our times, exploring themes of love, loss, and the transformative power of stories. "Truth is not found in fixed stillness, but in ceaseless change/movement. Isn't this the quintessential core of what stories are all about?” —Haruki Murakami, from the afterword.
