Hélène Morita Books

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...

STEP INTO THE CITY When a young man's girlfriend mysteriously vanishes, he sets his heart on finding the imaginary city where her true self lives. His search will lead him to take a job in a remote library with mysteries of its own. When he finally makes it to the walled city, a shadowless place of horned beasts and willow trees, he finds his beloved working in a different library - a dream library. But she has no memory of their life together in the other world and, as the lines between reality and fantasy start to blur, he must decide what he's willing to lose. A love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, The City and Its Uncertain Walls is a parable for these strange times.
