Description
“The Chronicles of a Wandering Cat” is the popular novel by Hiro Arikawa that has won the love of readers around the world.
It’s an extraordinary and emotional story about friendship between a cat with the symbolic name Nana—meaning “seven” in Japanese—and its owner, Satoru. The work is also a road novel: the heroes travel not only to different places, but also through their memories—Nana learns the vastness of the sea and the grandeur of Mount Fuji, while Satoru seems to relive moments from his childhood and youth.
At first glance, Nana, who acts as the narrator, appears to be a practical realist with a distinctly feline worldview. Yet he is capable of understanding Satoru’s inner world so deeply that sometimes he even understands it better than Satoru himself. So who are they to each other? Why does Satoru set off on the road again and again with his beloved cat?..
