Kenji Miyazawa - Noite no Caminho de Ferro da Via Láctea

"The Japanese Little Prince. One of the best-known classics of Japanese literature, translated for the first time from the original! Night on the Milky Way Railroad has often been compared to Saint-Exupéry's classic and is Kenji Miyazawa's best-known work. Translated into more than 50 languages ​​and published posthumously in 1934, this is a 'children's story that should be read by all adults' (New York Review of Books). Young Giovanni, whose father is away on a long trip, has a sick mother. Thus, Giovanni is forced to accept small jobs and tasks, before and after school hours, to feed his family, developing in this context a friendship with another young boy, Campanella. [The text then abruptly shifts to a different topic:] A journey of discovery of humanity, the wonders of nature, and the human capacity to dream, and a narrative about how science can transform dreams into reality. This novel by Kenji Miyazawa has been adapted into several television series and animated films.

In this volume..." We have also added the novella "The Life of Gusuko Budori," which is being translated into a Western language for the first time and has already been adapted for film twice, addressing similar themes. "Miyazawa's fables are among the best and most beautiful writing of the 20th century." David Mitchell "No one dreamed the world like Miyazawa." Michael Ende (author of 'The Neverending Story')
